Advantage Army chief: Govt withdraws Dec 30 order

February 10, 2012 11:47

The Supreme Court has questioned why the government had taken advice from the attorney general for the second time and had given the government the option to withdraw the order.

The army chief has sought a stay on the government's rejection of his statutory complaint and "consequential reliefs'.

Singh will be entitled to a 10-month extension of service, should the court accept his plea.

He is due to retire on May 31, this year, according to the government. His tenure will decide who the chief's baton will pass to next -- eastern army commander Lt Gen. Bikram Singh, northern army commander Lt Gen. K.T. Parnaik or to some other army commander.
