The Supreme Court issued a stern warning to the government, emphasizing that "women cannot be left out," regarding the denial of a Permanent Commission to women officers in the Indian Coast Guard. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud stated, "If you do not do it, we will do it. So, have a look at that." The court rejected functionality arguments, asserting such reasoning doesn't hold water in 2024. The hearing stems from a plea by a woman Coast Guard officer, with the next session scheduled for March 1. The court previously criticized the Coast Guard's "patriarchal attitude" and urged alignment with Navy and Army policies.
