"While the Supreme Court may have forced General V.K. Singh to withdraw his petition, it is important to highlight there was no slur on his integrity, which the Bench said it had complete faith in. Nothing can take away from General Singh's ability and accomplishments. He is widely recognised as a brilliant strategist and as a reform-oriented officer who tried hard to restore the image of an Army whose image had been blighted by corruption scandals such as Adarsh and Sukna."
The Hindu : Opinion / Editorial : The best way out: In a way, the Supreme Court has pulled off a diplomatic coup. By ensuring that the petition is withdrawn, it has avoided the ugly situation. The Court must have been aware of the implications of making an exception for General Singh on the age issue viz. promotions of other senior Army officials, and the morale of the entire 13 lakh strong army.

All in all, the Court found the best way out of a tricky impasse.
