At the outset of today's hearing, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Anil Kaushik, appearing for the Centre, informed the Court that the nine-week training programme had commenced on June 22 and that three weeks of training was already over.
He submitted that the three weeks of training, which Sengar had missed, comprised essential aspects such as field visits, physical training and cadre-specific exercises.
The ASG also told the Court that IPS probationers were required to maintain 95 per cent attendance, failing which they would have to undertake the training again.
“If it is a 9 week schedule and 1/3rd is already gone, then it’s a problem.
3 out of 9 weeks are gone.

The Bench then observed that although it remained persuaded by Sengar’s legal challenge to the OM, allowing her to join for training at this stage would defeat the very purpose of the training.
“If it is a 9 week schedule and 1/3rd is already gone, then it’s a problem. We can say that your seniority won’t be affected. The training has proceeded now. We agree with your submission on merits. But we cannot implement it. 3 out of 9 weeks are gone. You will not be able to be trained properly. It will be to your detriment.” it said.
