@Red see if my friend is not in any danger then why would I question it? But if he/she is then I have all the rights to ask. And thatβs the beauty of public services it works in democratic manner where everyone has the right to question the decision of a senior if itβs not in writing, itβs not binding ( see if you are a public servant, you have the right to question your seniors because we all know how these offices work and SC has given judgment in that regard, you have the right to reject the orders of a senior unless it is in writing because then you are bound to follow him/her. But then also you have the basic right of questioning the decision as I told you it works in a democratic way) and in Army we donβt have have the luxury of having a democratic system which I totally understand and I asked you that question regarding to this only that donβt you have the basic right of questioning there, which shraddha cleared so I totally understand your point which I was not understanding before.
So yeah you are right in your perspective.
This will be serious stuff so, apologies beforehand.
Legally yes, each individual has the right.
2 things here:
1. Every (civil, non-defense) job comes with its fair share of complications. The scale varies depending on the type of work. The point of contention is accountability. Each person is responsible and accountable for the decisions he takes and the responsibility and accountability only increases with level and with experience, invariably, one learns to work through challenges.
2. One is well within their right to question decisions. But is one confronting irrationally? People can reason it out prior to questioning their decisions because when one confronts or questions decisions, more often than not, it means he is not in doubt but has made a judgement himself. Reasoning and confronting are different things.
So, if the person taking the decisions should be responsible, in the larger interest, the person who intends to question should also do so, rationally and responsibly.
Decision making is tough, one can't expect consent and acknowledgement from everyone, that should not even be a criteria.
