Women will be allowed to take National Defence Academy (NDA) examination scheduled for September 5. The Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday passed an interim order on a writ petition seeking permission for women candidates to appear for the NDA examination.
Moreover, the top court also pulled up the Army for resisting opportunities to women. The apex court also asked the Army to change its attitude and not wait for judicial orders to be passed in such matters.
The petitioner in a fresh application pointed out that on June 9, 2021, UPSC had issued a notice declaring the date of examination for admission to the Army, Navy, and Air Force wings of the NDA. As per the application, the UPSC examination notice is in complete violation of Article 14, 15, 16 and 19 of the Constitution.
The notice had said that the candidate must be an unmarried male, which excludes eligible and willing female candidates.
The decision of the top court came in during the hearing of the plea which sought directions for necessary steps to be taken to allow eligible female candidates to appear for the NDA and Naval Academy Examination and train at the National Defence Academy.
