JOINT SECRETARY Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Wing-Commander Abhinandan Varthaman is an authentic hero of our times. He has since gone back to the thick of action.

(2.) We all know that he is a Tamilian. Let us imagine that his daughter is an M.B.B.S. aspirant and wants to join one of the Government medical colleges in Tamil Nadu. Can she avail the benefit of the reservation policy meant for defence personnel?. The answer is "No".

(3.) If, on the other hand, Abhinandan Varthaman, after his return from Pakistan, had said good bye to defence service, as the daughter of an ex-serviceman, she would be entitled to the benefit of reservation.
