It's a crucial day in the courts for the present Army Chief and the Army Chief in waiting ... The Madras High Court is hearing a petition against Army Chief General V K Singh ... The court had sought the Centre's reply to a petition that wanted to know as to how the Army chief could continue in his post after taking it to court.
On the other hand ... the Supreme Court is hearing a PIL questioning the government's decision to appoint Lt Gen Bikram Singh as the successor to General VK Singh. The government has filed a caveat in the PIL to stop the appointment of Lt General Bikram Singh as the next Army chief. The PIL has cited many pending cases against the Lt Gen and sought the apex court's intervention to block Singh's appointment. The Centre's move would ensure that the PIL petitioners don't get any ex-parte orders in the case.
