Discrimination based on gender has no place in today’s society, especially within the Armed Forces, the Delhi High Court has held, while directing the central government to appoint a woman candidate to the post of pilot in the Air Force.

A bench of justices C Hari Shankar and Om Prakash Shukla delivered the verdict last week, while hearing a petition filed by a woman candidate, who sought directions to the Centre for her appointment to one of the unfilled posts.

“The distinction between male and female has, in the present time, been reduced to nothing more than a chance chromosomal circumstance, and ascribing to it any greater relevance would be illogical as well as anachronistic,” the bench said last Monday.
