The disgraced army officer Major Leetul Gogoi was punished.he lost six month seniority and transferred out of Kashmir as he was found guilty of "fraternizing"with a local woman and being away from his place of duty even after he was not authorizedto do so in Srinagar last year.
Although the Court martial order came in march but theproper authorization from the army top brass came yesterday. The meaning of loss of seniority would meanhe would not be eligible for promotion with his batch and his future prospectsin the service to move up the ladder would be affected.
