Senior Advocate PS Patwalia: They say women have been considered today. 98 percent would have been considered in 2003. They have compared us to the last empanelled male officer.
Justice DY Chandrachud: How will you formulate your points?
Justice DY Chandrachud: How will you formulate your points?
Patwalia: These ladies will be rudderless at sea if they are not considered. Some of them are in middle of engineering courses. If they don't find a person fit for person for permanent commission in second or third ECR that has to be conveyed.
Patwalia: Our ACR was not written with the same focus by which the ones of male officers was written.
Justice MR Shah: On what basis earlier medical report should be granted.
Justice Chandrachud: How can PC be granted on the basis that you were fit at a earlier point of time

Justice Chandrachud: Best way is to take into account all ACRs of their career. Today what will be the threshold required to continue in service?
Justice Chandrachud: So if a person is under variant five of any fitness category they are out?
Senior Adv R Balasubramanian: Yes. When a person is under category 2 or 3 then they are under a medical category and time is given so that the condition stabilizes.

Justice Chandrachud: The idea is not to give women any special dispensation. The question is how can those women who should have been considered for permanent commission in the past is denied the same now on the ground of certain bodily impairments.
