Lt. Col NK Ghai (Retd.) vs. Union of India and Another (CIVIL APPEAL) – Supreme Court of India Judgment
The Supreme Court has given a retired Army officer a fresh chance at promotion. The officer, Lt. Col. NK Ghai, was repeatedly denied promotion to the rank of Colonel. The Court found that another officer in a similar situation had his case reconsidered and was promoted. To ensure fairness, the Court has now directed the Chief of Army Staff to reconsider Lt. Col. Ghai's case as well, and if he is found fit, to grant him the promotion with all associated benefits.
