SC dismisses PIL against Lt Gen Bikram Singh



Lt-Gen Bikram Singh is due to take over as army chief at the end of May

Apex court says it does not find any justifiable grounds to entertain petition

The Supreme Court today dismissed a public-interest litigation filed by retired officers and bureacrats challenging the appointment of Lt Gen Bikram Singh as the next chief of the Indian Army, once the current incumbent, Gen V K Singh demits office on May 31.

The apex court stated that it did not find any justifiable grounds to entertain the petition, which had been filed by former Naval Chief Admiral Laxminarayan Ramdas and former Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalaswamy, among others.

The petitioners had alleged that the new chief-in-waiting was involved in a fake encounter in Jammu & Kashmir, and had also failed to take action against some officers accused of rape and sexual harrassment when they were posted in Congo in 2008 as part of the UN peace-keeping mission.

However, the Supreme Court asserted that the dismissal of the petition would not affect any pending proceedings against Bikram Singh.

BBC News - Challenge to next India army chief Bikram Singh rejected

India's Prime Minister = Sikh, Chief and Dy. Chief of Planning Commission = Sikh and now Indian Army Chief = Sikh.

India is truly a secular democracy where everyone gets fair chance to grow, equal opportunities and participate in nation building.

Although it pleases me, i am not happy on such a title while on PDF. Hope the best men take charge of our country irrspective of their religion and caste.

What a misleading title? No community rules India. Indians rule India.

[Awesome]

Dubious character becoming IA chief. Rape allegations, Fake encounter allegations. With such two major allegations, he should have been skipped over.

The SC primarily dismissed the petition since it could not entertain it. The case wasn't really heard in the SC.

why not?? As long as they are competent enough.

MODs should change the title. The Indian Army should be above ethnic and religion politics.

[JAT BALWAN]

An Indian is ruling India....

Lt Gen Bikram Singh is senior most in his category so he deserve the post of army chief...
Apart from these litigation his career holds very good records...

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

Good news but there was no need for the this title as they are serving the people and the country and not ruling the country.We are a democracy!

You know what , the Gen's daughter-in-law is of Pakistani origin. Ideas for ISI .

[third eye]

The title is ludicrous.

What relevance does religion have ? Naturally, Indian will rule India.

[Bl[i]tZ]

Its just a coincidence of MERITOCRACY! Not that it says other faiths are not represented. There are majority Cabinet Ministers, Corps Commanders, Economists of Hindu religion. Our Vice President, Election Commissioner is a Muslim, our Defence Minister and leader of Congress Party is a Christian etc. etc.

I'm happy that my country gives equal opportunity to people despite their faith. US is yet to elect a non-Christian President, I recommend they learn from India.

1. Its specially for PDF as some spread propaganda about the Khalistan.

2. Read the last line it says India is truly a secular democracy where everyone gets equal opportunities irrespective of religion.

Tessy Thomas the Agni putri a christian and Lt. Gen Bikram Singh a Sikh is perfect proof of it.
