96-year-old IAF Marshal Arjan Singh is the only officer of the Indian Air Force to be promoted to five-star rank, equal to a Field Marshal, to which he was promoted in 2002.

The Supreme Court on Thursday held that personnel working in the Indian Air Force cannot sport a beard based on religious grounds.

 

A bench headed by Chief Justice TS Thakur said that the Centre's decision to prohibit personnel of a particular community from sporting beard does not infringe upon the fundamental rights.
