Yes, it is very much right.The reasons for new rules are-“We don’t want people to look shabby due to obesity and that is why, this policy aimed at cutting down waist and fat bellies has been issued after taking inputs from all the command headquarters,” a senior Army officer told Mail Today here.“We don’t want our men to suffer from life style diseases caused due to obesity and anyways, such men would also impact operational effectiveness of men in field areas also,” they said. The policy letter, accessed by Mail Today, mentions that the increased weight beyond the acceptable limits would also be mentioned in the annual confidential records of the officers as their front and side-on pictures would be attached with the service documents by the senior officers.Moreover, Commanding officers have now been given powers to refer officers to military hospitals, if they feel that any officer or jawan is looking obese or over-weight“Personnel, who are otherwise in shape 1 (medically fit) but are found to be overweight at the time of interview (for appointment at important posts) are liable to be graded as rejected at the discretion of the screening committee and appropriate ban can be imposed on them till they regain their shape,” Army officers said. As per the policy, all directorates involved in deployment of officers for foreign postings have to make sure that no overweight officer is sent there.“The commanding officer would be responsible for all personnel under his command in ensuring that no individual, who is obese, is permitted to go abroad unless he is in a specifically-exempted category, battle casualties or war wounded,” the policy states.The force is coming down heavily on obese officers who are getting re-employed in Army after retirement. Such officers are given not many important tasks but many persons holding such offices don’t care about maintaining fitness, sources said.“Officers who are obese will not be granted re-employment in the Army. Applications for re-employment will be accompanied by a certificate from the officer concerned that the individual is not 10 per cent over his weight and in absence of such a certificate, the application would be rejected,” the policy states.The Army is also working to keep such over-weight persons away from award ceremonies. “Personnel who are obese will be debarred from receiving unit citation or escorting recipients who have to receive awards. In case of such officers or JCOs, the next senior fit person would receive those awards,” the policy said. However, the weight restriction would not be applicable on persons receiving gallantry awards. For awarding distinguished service awards, Army headquarters has clearly stated that recommendations for such officers would not be initiated unless they are in the exempt category.Indian Army Sets Strict Rules; Bans Promotions For Obese/Unfit Soldiers And Officers

I live in Alaska where we select our judges through a process contained in our Alaskan Constitution. The judges ARE NOT ELECTED, they are appointed by a strict process has to followed per our Constitution.”The Alaska Judicial Council is an independent citizens' commission created by the Alaska Constitution. The Council screens applicants for judicial vacancies and nominates the most qualified applicants for appointment by the governor, evaluates the performance of judges and recommends whether voters should retain judges for another term, and conducts research to improve the administration of justice in Alaska.Alaska Constitution Article IV, Section 8 provides that the Judicial Council has seven members. Three must be attorneys appointed by the Alaska Bar Association. Three cannot be attorneys and are appointed by the governor subject to confirmation by the legislature. These appointments are for staggered six year terms, must be spread over different areas of the state, and must be made without regard to political affiliation. The chief justice of the supreme court is the Council's seventh member and chairperson.”Personally, having served six years on the Alaska Judicial Council, the mechanism by which applicants for the Judiciary are selected for recommendation to the Governor for appointment, I believe that process comes the closest to removing politics from the process.I would prefer to see something more like it for the appointments of all judgeships because it pretty much takes away the partisan politics, especially federal judgeships !Once a judge is appointed, every few years the registered voters of our state vote YES or NO on the ballot question if the Judge should be retained or not. There are other ways for a judge to be removed from the bench but it is totally out of the political forum.First, there is the Alaska Judicial Council that is made up of three public members appointed by the governor, approved by the Senate, who serve for a period of six years (not at the pleasure of the governor). Three attorney members selected by the Alaska Bar and appointed by the governor for a five year term and the seventh member is the Chief Justice of the Alaska Supreme Court.The Judicial Council has a paid staff that maintains a office in Anchorage, Alaska.The Judicial Council has a number of duties and responsibilities but the most important one is the selection from applicants, candidates to recommend to the Governor for appointment to a judgeship.The Council’s staff tasked with publishing the bench vacancy on their web site, in the media and notices to the Legislature and the Alaska Bar Association and provides the interested applicants with the materials and information they need.Frequently Asked Questions about SelectionA date is set for the cut off on submission of applications. As the applications come in the staff reviews them to make sure they meet the required qualifications.The packet that the applicants receive to fill out is very lengthy and basically entails covering the applicant’s life ( this includes their financial information) information on education, work history, samples of their writing, along with listing references and completion of a very “intrusive” set of questions.The applicant must include a number of required materials such as copies of their diploma, transcripts, proof of residency, lists of cases, membership in organizations in addition to the application form.It does NOT ask about political affiliation or any religious information.Once the cut-0ff date passes, another date is selected for the interview of the applicants and hearing in the community where the judgeship is located.After the staff at the Council goes through the applicants applications they contact the applicants with any questions they may have or other information that may be needed. They inform them of the date of the interviews and hearing.Meanwhile, the Council staff sends a link to a site for a survey of former jurors, court staff, probation officers, social workers where the applicant works to fill out. Another survey is done by the membership of the Alaska Bar Association and that one provides and area on the survey where comments can be made, either signed or unsigned.Once the surveys are completed, the Council staff tabulates them and provides the information to both the Council members and to the applicants. Often, after the results of the Bar Association’s survey are revealed to the applicant, it the scores are very low, many times applicants will drop out.Meanwhile, anyone in the public or system can write letters to the Council regarding the applicants. Any letters received are shared with the applicant unless the senders of the letter asks that the letter be kept confidential. Again, depending on the letters, sometimes the applicants will drop out.Once all the information is in and complete, the Council staff prepares a “book” on each remaining applicant that is marked confidential, and is sent by courier to each member of the Judicial Council. This gives each Council member and opportunity to go over the materials prior to the meeting where the interviews and hearings will be held.The Council convenes into a meeting, and discusses and takes action on other Council business. Then, if the applicant has requested it, a motion to go into Executive Session is made. At that time, the Council interviews each candidate, which they often say is like being cross examined.Questions are asked by each Council member. They may be asked about why they think their Bar survey scores are so low, or asked to tell the Council about missing gaps in time. Usually lasts and hour or up to two hours.In between interviews, the Council will hold public hearings where anyone can address the Council regarding the applicants or ask question of the Council regarding the process, or make comment on other Council business. Sometimes, Council members may ask the audience questions.After all of the applicants have been interviewed (any that remain interested after the questioning) the Council goes into Executive Session to discuss the candidates.Judicial Selection ProceduresBecause of the very personal nature of some of the questions that the Council asks of the applicants, and because there are people who have commented through letters or testimony offered by written form, there is a great deal of sensitive, private information that has to be kept confidential unless agreed to be released.The Council then reconvenes into public session and the application names are read, one by one with votes by each Council member being announced as the process goes on. Those names are then sent to the Governor for him to look over and set up personal interviews with each final candidates on the list.The Council has to provide at least two names to the Governor. One time when the Council only sent up two names and not the one of the names the Governor wanted, he tried to refuse the names and appoint who he wanted. But, because the process is so tightly written into the Constitution he had to select the two names to chose from.If the Council can not recommend at least two applicants then the process has to start all over again.The Governor can not refuse to consider the applicants that the Council provides.At times, the Council has recommended as many as five names, maybe more. to the Governor but usually it is three names but that pretty much lies with how the Council members at the time voted to do it.As far as Transparency of the process goes, it is not as “open” as the public circus that the hearing on Judge Kavanaugh was this week was unless the applicant waived their right to being questioned in public.Having a process like this almost removes all of the partisan politics involved in selecting judges. The Governor can only appoint from the list of applicants that the Council recommends. Any attorney who is a member in good standing with the Alaska Barn Association who meets the requirements can apply and be interviewed.Selection Law - Constitutional and Statutory Provisions Concerning Judicial Selection
