This is one of the things the higher judiciary has got right. No supersessions, ,no extensions in service, both solvents of institutional autonomy. For a generation, that was also the case in the armed forces.
It just means no merit, Even heard of Lt General Sinha case during Indira Gandhi.
I have. That is what a generation ago referred to. Lt Gen Sinha was a fine officer, whom the other party made amends to.
BOBDE! Rather funny surname.
