The Supreme Court criticized India's patriarchal approach to women's permanent commission in the Coast Guard and urged a gender-neutral policy.
The Supreme Court has criticized the Indian government for its "patriarchal" approach to permanent commission for women in the Coast Guard, questioning why the force should be different when the Army and Navy have already implemented the policy. The court's comments came during a hearing of a petition by a woman Coast Guard officer, Priyanka Tyagi, who sought parity with male officers for permanent commission. The court urged the government to create a gender-neutral policy on the matter.
