Quick Summary

Armed Forces Tribunals were established for the swift resolution of cases concerning serving members of the Armed Forces. However, their jurisdiction is limited to actual service conditions and does not extend to ancillary benefits like ECHS or CSD, nor does it cover civilian employees of defence establishments. Aggrieved individuals concerning these latter matters should consider other legal avenues.

Section 14(2) of the Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007 specifies jurisdiction of AFT qua service matters of armed forces personnel (in uniform) , which do not include any facility such as ECHS / CSD and / or civilian employed in defence forces.
