What makes people think that the courts will give relief for sure? what if they don't? this is a real possibility and cannot be ruled out. Having observed at close quarters the working of the government in Singapore( where I am based) and Burma, Thailand I find that the only way the armed forces can assert is if they are part of the political decision-making process. This is so in these nations and unless that happens( part of the decision-making process) in India the services will remain forever second class.
No amount of letters even by the Chiefs can have any meaning and I think they are just trashed by the government. No point in blaming the IAS lobby and I have a few friends there who tell me the fault is with your top brass that just doesn't exert.
The fault is square with the political leadership and it started from the time of Nehru and Cariappa must take the blame. It has continued. If Burma and Thailand countries with a pacifist religion can have the armed forces as part of the political mainstream, why not India? Courts are just what they are Courts. They do not bring any revolutionary change and only uphold the established order till a revolution throws them out. This is history
