He had challenged Lt Gen Suhag&#8217;s appointment as head of Eastern Command alleging that it could not have been done as then Army chief Gen V K Singh had imposed a ban on his promotion because of the Jorhat Army raid incident.<\/p>\n<p>He had argued that if Lt Gen Suhag&#8217;s promotion as Army commander was shot down by the court, then his appointment as the next Army chief would be void.<\/p>\n<p>But attorney general Mukul Rohatgi said Lt Gen Suhag&#8217;s appointment as the next Army chief had no relation with non-appointment of Lt Gen Dastane as Army corps commander. He explained the sequence of events leading to imposition of promotion ban on Lt Gen Suhag by then Army chief Gen V K Singh and the quashing of the same by his successor Gen Bikram Singh.<\/p>\n<p>After hearing Lt Gen Dastane&#8217;s counsel R K Anand, a bench of Justices T S Thakur and Adarsh Goel said it saw no reason to stop the process (appointment of the next Army chief) just because of the pending petition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He (Lt Gen Dastane) is two ranks below. He is not even an Army commander. As and when he succeeds in the petition, he would be considered for Army commander&#8217;s post,&#8221; the bench said and adjourned hearing on the petition.<\/p>\n<p>Lt Gen Suhag is set to take over from Gen Bikram Singh as Army chief on August 1, while Lt Gen Dastane will retire from service on August 31.<\/p>\n<p>Lt Gen Dastane in his recent affidavit attached photographs of an Army officer getting &#8216;cosy&#8217; with a woman at a party in an officers&#8217; mess in 2010 and alleged that this happened when the eastern command was under the leadership of Lt Gen Suhag.<\/p>\n<p>Rohatgi said this was &#8220;gross indiscipline&#8221; and an &#8220;attempt to scandalize&#8221; the Army as Lt Gen Suhag was not present at the party nor was he in-charge of Eastern Command at the relevant time.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: PTI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court on Monday said pendency of Lt Gen Ravi Dastane&#8217;s petition challenging promotion of Lt Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag as commander of Eastern Command would not hinder Lt Gen Suhag from becoming the next Army chief.
