SC slams Indian Coast Guard (ICG) for denying permanent commission to female officer

The Supreme Court criticized the Indian Coast Guard for denying a permanent commission. The court found the Coast Guard's policy vague and arbitrary in its decision-making. It gave the Coast Guard two weeks to decide on officer Priyanka Tyagi's induction. The court stated it would not allow women officers to be humiliated in this manner. The bench reserved its decision, urging a sportsmanship approach to the issue.
