The court, however, acquitted Bhatnagar of the charge of disobedience of command.
Judge Advocate (GCM) Major Vipin Chakravarti of the General Court Martial found Maj Bhatnagar guilty of making improper projections of the condition of troops on June 15, 1999 when he was ordered to reclaim Point 5203 in the Batalik-Yaldoor sector.
Maj Bhatnagar was charged with dereliction of duty during the Kargil conflict by Maj Gen V S Budhwar, the then GOC of the Infantry division, for insisting that his men were unfit to reclaim Point 5203.
