The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear in July a plea seeking to stall the appointment of Lt General Dalbir Singh Suhag as next Army chief. The petition, filed by Lt General Ravi Dastane, was earlier fixed to be heard in September.
A vacation bench led by Justice Vikramjit Sen agreed to prepone the hearing after Dastane's counsel pleaded for urgency in the matter in view of the facts that Dastane was retiring on August 31 while Suhag's appointment as Army chief takes effect from August 1.
The counsel said that Suhag's selection as Army commander was already challenged in the main petition and if this selection is set aside, Suhag's appointment as next Army chief would also be struck down.
