SC dismisses plea against Army Chief-designate Lt Gen Bikram Singh | | The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed the
plea against Army Chief designate Lieutenant General Bikram Singh. The apex court
took the decision after going through Lt. Gen Singh’s service record. Earlier
in the day, the apex court had asked the Centre to place on record the file pertaining
to the appointment of Lt General Bikram Singh as army chief-designate. The directive
by the apex court comes in the wake of a controversy surrounding Lt General Singh’s
appointment as the next army chief. A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed in
the Supreme Court says that the Army chief-designate was involved in a fake encounter
in 2001. The petition also alleged that Lt General Singh failed to act against
officers involved in sexual harassment and rape when they were posted in Congo
in 2008 as part of the UN peace-keeping mission. It claims that Lt General Bikram
Singh’s promotion has been influenced by extra-meritorious considerations. |
