To deprive serving women officers of the opportunity to work as equals with men on PCs in the Indian Navy is plainly discriminatory.

SSC women officers in the batch of cases before the High Court and the AFT, who are presently in service shall be considered for the grant of PCs on the basis of the vacancy position as on the date of judgments of the Delhi High Court and the AFT or as it presently stands, whichever is higher\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The period of service after which women SSC officers shall be entitled to submit applications for the grant of PCs shall be the same as their male counterparts;<\/li>\n<li>The applications of the serving officers for the grant of PCs shall be considered on the basis of the norms contained in Regulation 203 namely:\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>availability of vacancies in the stabilised cadre at the material time;<\/li>\n<li>determination of suitability; and<\/li>\n<li>recommendation of the Chief of the Naval Staff.
