The Indian government told the country's Supreme Court Monday that the army will consider giving permanent commission to serving Women Short Service Commission Officers in its Judge Advocate General (JAG) and educational branches. An undertaking in this regard was submitted by Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium before a bench comprising Justices J. M. Panchal and Gyan Sudha Mishra. The undertaking stated that the exercise will be completed within two months. The bench recorded the undertaking which said that 'the Solicitor General (SG) on instruction states that women short service commission officers in service shall be considered for permanent commission in JAG and educational branch of Army.' The court also recorded the undertaking that the case of Major Lina Gurung, a short service commission officer, who is retiring in August will be considered on priority subject to the requirements. After the Solicitor General gave an undertaking, the bench stayed the contempt proceedings till further orders for not complying with the Delhi High Court directions to grant permanent commission to women serving in the armed forces. 'In view of the statements made at bar by the Solicitor General, the contempt proceeding is stayed till further order,' the bench said. The court had asked the Union Defence ministry in the previous week to produce an Army notification that makes women ineligible for permanent commission in the regular Army.
