Lt Col Purohit's DV Ban Set to Lift After Court Verdict
Lt.
Col.
Prasad Purohit had a ban on his career for 16 years.
The ban stopped him from getting promoted.
Now, because a court case is over, the military is going to remove the ban.
This means he might get his career back on track.
The Army is checking the files.
Even though his time in the Army is almost up, they may find a special job for him.
He can also ask for his old rank, pay, and other things that he missed out on while he was banned.
DV ban on Lt. Col. Prasad Purohit is likely to be lifted after 16 years.
The ban had frozen his military career, blocking promotions.
The file for removing the ban is with the Southern Command, heading to Army HQ.
Purohit has about a year of service left; a special post might be created for him.
He can seek legal remedies for career loss and restoration of benefits.
