I served in the Indian Army from 1990 to 2006, completing 16 years of service. Unfortunately, I was late by 265 days and faced a court-martial. I’ve been denied benefits and have valid reasons for my absence. How can I file a case against the Army to get justice?

You can file a writ petition in the High Court challenging the court-martial proceedings and denial of benefits. The court will examine the reasons for your absence and the fairness of the proceedings, considering your valid reasons and length of service. If the court finds merit in your case, it can direct the Army to reinstate benefits and address any injustice.
