Who is nikita pandey: Wing commander Nikita Pandey is in a lot of discussion these days. Nikita, who played an important role against Pakistan against Pakistan by joining big operations like Balakot AISRIRARIC and Operation Sindoor, has won her battle with the Supreme Court. The court ordered the Air Force that they should not be removed from the service at present.
The Supreme Court said that uncertainty about the possibilities of their long career in front of the officials is worrying and it should be addressed through an update policy. In her petition, Nikita Pandey requested to remain in service till SSB’s decision on her application for permanent commission. He was given the service extension till June 19, 2025 after completing the first 10 -year term.
Who is Wing Commander Nikita Pandey?
, Wing Commander Nikita Pandey is an officer in the Indian Air Force who joined through SSC in 2011.
, He has played an important role as a fighter controller and has contributed significantly to operations like Operation Sindoor as well as Operation Balakot.
, He is one of the selected fighter controllers of the country who are second in the merit list. Nikita Pandey has served in the armed forces for more than 13 and a half years. He has given service to the Air Force from 2011 to 2025.
, He is the first IAF SSC officer from whom his release has been banned from the Marking Army. The Supreme Court had earlier given similar relief to more than 50 women SSC officers in the army on 9 May.
What is the case of Nikita Pandey?
On his behalf, senior advocates Maneka Guruswami and Aastha Sharma argued that he was selected for Operation Sindoor due to his strategic skills and experience. In his application, she mentioned, “Women officials are being included in the Indian Air Force since 1992, since it has now been more than 30 years, yet initially the only option available to include them was selected through SSC, while their men have an option to get commission as both SSC and Permanent Commission.”
Nikita argued that when technology and situation have changed so much, it is wrong to deprive women of permanent commission on the basis of 30 -year -old policies. If they are eligible in every way, then why discrimination on the basis of gender?
What did the Supreme Court say?
A bench headed by Justice Suryakant and Justice N. Kotishwar Singh was hearing the petition. The bench said, “The feeling of uncertainty cannot be good for the armed forces. Since there is no sure opportunity for a permanent commission for women SSC officers, mutual competition between these officers promotes after completion of 10 years.”
The bench commented saying, “Suppose, if you take 100 SSC officers, you consider them for a permanent commission. It is a different matter that everyone may not be eligible. But we think this mutual merit and competition causes a lot of trouble.” The court suggested that the Central Government should consider a policy to merge with the number of permanent commission opportunities available to the recruitment of SSC officers.
