We learn from
this Tribune News Service account of a decision of India's Armed Forces Tribunal mitigating the sentence in the court-martial of an army captain. The accused was the first woman officer tried for professional dereliction. Here's the disturbing part: the general court-martial occurred in 2009, and it has taken until now --
nine years later -- for the AFT to complete its review of her appeal. The judgment in
Kaur v. Union of India seems not to be on the AFT's website yet.
