New Delhi: Chief of the Andaman and Nicobar Command Vice Admiral Bimal Verma on Tuesday again moved the armed forces tribunal to challenge his supersession for the Navy chief’s post. He moved the tribunal on a day when all top Naval commanders are in New Delhi attending the first edition of Naval Commanders’ Conference of 2019.
Vice Admiral Verma moved tribunal after the defence ministry failed to respond to his statutory complaint within 10 days.
Vice Admiral Bimal Verma on April 11 had filed a statutory complaint to the defence ministry challenging his supersession for the post of Navy chief.
Vice Admiral Verma is six months senior to Vice Admiral Karambir Singh.
Earlier he had withdrawn his petition before the Armed Forces Tribunal because as per rules he has to first approach the Ministry of Defence for redressal of his grievance.
