Two female constables from the Indo-Tibetan Border Police recently moved the Delhi high court seeking redeployment to the Indian Mission in Afghanistan, and the court was taken aback.
Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw and Justice Amit Bansal dismissed the petition since the problem is simply administrative. They also expressed surprise at such a petition given the perilous situation in Afghanistan. Before the fall of Kabul in August, the petition was filed and a decision was reached.
The ITBP constables said they were assigned to the Indian Embassy in Kabul as security aides in August 2020 for a two-year assignment. They were re-deployed to India in June of this year. They claimed they were entitled to a two-year stay in Afghanistan.
