The high court has expressed amazement as two female constables approach the court for posting in Afghanistan. The Delhi high court couldn't felt more provide for two ITBP women constables seeking redeployment at the Indian Mission in Afghanistan.
Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw and Justice Amit Bansal dismissed the plea as the issue is a purely administrative one and also expressed amazement. The petition and the verdict came before the fall of Kabul on August 15. The court said "The petitioners as personnel of armed force like ITBP can be posted anywhere based on the requirement of the force, They have no vested right to be deployed in Afghanistan. Rather it amazes us that in view of the dangerous situation prevailing in Afghanistan currently, the petitioners are keen to be deployed there.” The ITBP constables stated that they were posted in the Embassy of India at Kabul in August 2020. They were there as security assistants for a tenure of two years. In June this year, they were re-deployed to India. They contested that they were entitled to a stay of two years in Afghanistan. Their plea filed in high court read that their service is required in Kabul for the purpose of frisking children and females visiting the Indian Embassy at that time and they were duly trained for this. The court also observed that the constables on their own can't decide where their services are required.
After the Taliban took control of Kabul on August 15, a contingent of 99 ITBP commandoes, along with three sniffer dogs were evacuated from Afghanistan. There is no ITBP contingent in Afghanistan in the present period. The complete contingent deployed for the security of the Embassy in Kabul, its four consulates in Afghanistan have returned to India in the aftermath of the capture of Kabul by the Taliban.
