The Delhi High Court has asked the Centre to decide in eight weeks a representation seeking the entry of women in the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Indian Naval Academy (INA) and Air Force Academy of the Indian Armed Forces through the Combined Defence Services (CDS) examination.
The court passed the order on a petition by Kush Kalra, who challenged a December 2023 notification issued by the UPSC inviting application for recruitment in the IMA, INA and Air Force Academy of the Indian Armed Forces and Officers Training Academy (OTA) through the CDS examination. Noting that the petitioner’s representation on the issue was still pending, a bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet PS Arora on Friday said, “the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to decide the representation in accordance with law within eight weeks”.
