A High Court judge has ruled that a cadet officer’s claim challenging the Cadet Force’s failure to promote him to the rank of major can proceed.

Justice Frank Seepersad on June 23 dismissed an attempt by the State to have Capt Namlyn Dipnarine’s lawsuit struck out.

In his lawsuit, filed in February, Dipnarine alleged he was unfairly overlooked during promotions announced on October 31, 2024. He is seeking judicial review of the decision.
