Respected Sir, I began my basic military training on June 25th, 2015. After four months, I faced some mental difficulties and went absent without leave for over 30 days, totalling 80 days. I eventually returned to the camp, but was told I couldn’t continue training due to the absence exceeding 30 days and was discharged. Sir, is there any possibility for me to rejoin the service? Please advise.

Under Indian Army rules, absence without leave exceeding 30 days is considered desertion. Your discharge due to exceeding the 30-day limit makes it highly unlikely you can rejoin. However, you may approach the Army Headquarters with a strong appeal, highlighting your mental health struggles and expressing your sincere desire to serve. The decision ultimately rests with the Army authorities.

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.

I joined the Air Force when I was just 17 years and 4 months old. Back then, I signed a contract to serve for 20 years, but I was never given a copy. Since I was a minor at the time, is this contract legally binding under the Air Force Act of 1950 or the Indian Contracts Act of 1872? I’ve served for 16 years now and want to be discharged. Can you help me understand my legal options?

I served in the CISF from 2007 to 2010. My probation period was from June 16, 2007, to June 16, 2009. During this time, I received three disciplinary actions for disobeying orders. One instance involved a shift from family quarters to the barracks in July 2008. Due to illness, I shifted on August 4, 2008, and provided a doctor’s note for a four-day sick leave. Despite this, the authorities found it unsatisfactory and issued a disciplinary action. On another occasion, I was charged for an accident while riding a motorcycle without a helmet, which I considered a lawful order. The punishment was a seven-day pay fine. Lastly, I was charged for requesting a written order from the shift incharge, again resulting in a seven-day pay fine. For each of these charges, I requested a formal inquiry but was denied, with the authorities stating that they have the discretion to decide whether an inquiry is conducted or not.

I’m a permanent LMC A2 with a broken left index finger. I’m stationed at a high altitude area, around 8,000 feet. The doctor won’t excuse me from duty due to the altitude. When I refused to go on temporary duty because of my injury, I was given a black mark on my record. I need legal advice as they are planning to send me to a 14,000-foot altitude for my next duty assignment.
