Business Standard (India)
reports that:
The court martial ruling against controversial army Major Leetul Gogoi, recommending a reduction in his seniority and his posting out of the Kashmir Valley, has been confirmed by the Army headquarters, defence sources said.
Gogoi, who had hogged media headlines in 2017 when he tied a local youth in the state's Badgam district to the bonnet of his jeep to escape and deter stone-pelting mobs, was court-martialled after being found "fraternising" with a local girl in May last year.
We have mentioned before that a U.S. Navy officer convicted at court-martial could at one time be punished with a loss of numbers (a lowering in seniority on the promotion list). That punishment was removed in 1999. See E. Fidell & J. Fidell
Loss-numbers-was-punishment, USNI August 2001.
