The Bench also directed the respondent departments to reconsider the recommendations of the Sabharwal Committee, observing that the present proceedings were intended to improve the conditions of outboarded cadets. "We expect that certain favorable recommendations would be emanating from the respondent-departments in this regard," the Court observed. It also recorded its appreciation for those States and Union Territories that have already treated outboarded cadets as ex-servicemen for employment purposes. Recording the submissions, the Court observed that a separate welfare mechanism was required for outboarded cadets not covered by the disability law. Therefore, for those cadets who are nevertheless outboarded... a suitable scheme must be prepared and extended to them."
