The Supreme Court has pulled up the Indian Army for not allowing women candidates in the National Defence Academy (NDA), Sainik Schools and other military institutions and called out the “regressive mindset”. “Don’t do tokenism. Why do you need the judiciary to pass orders every time,” asked the Supreme Court, slamming the Indian Army for not giving opportunities to women. “You’re compelling the judiciary to keep on granting orders. It’s better that you (Army) structure it than inviting court orders. We are permitting the girls who have approached the court to sit for the NDA examination because we will be considering the larger issue,” said the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
