I joined the Indian Air Force as a trainee, directly recruited for a specific trade. During my initial enrollment, I wasn’t informed about any policy regarding training in this trade. I was only told that if I couldn’t handle it, I’d be transferred to another. However, after completing my six-month basic training and starting my trade training, they introduced a policy stating that failing would result in discharge from service. This policy was implemented just a month after I joined. Now, I’ve been discharged after only a year, Is this fair? Can I fight this decision? I need some guidance.

The sudden introduction of the discharge policy after you joined and its application to you, despite not being informed beforehand, raises concerns about fairness. You can explore legal options, seeking guidance from a lawyer specialized in military law, to challenge the discharge based on the principle of natural justice and potential breach of contract.
