The Delhi High Court has called for gender equality in the armed forces, stating that if a woman officer can be posted in Siachen, a man can also work as a nurse in the Army. The court was hearing a petition challenging the practice of having only women nurses in military establishments. The bench highlighted the Supreme Court's permission for women to join the National Defence Academy and emphasized the need to eliminate gender bias. The court listed the case for further hearing in November. The petition argues that excluding male nurses from the Army is unconstitutional and unjustifiable.
