My client the State Bank of India has received Notice from the Hon'ble High Court in a writ perition filed by a pensioner. His pension case was decided in his favour under the Armed Forces Tribunal Act 2007. His pension processing was started by my client immediately that is on March 2012 writing to the Centralised Pension processing centre and awaiting orders from the appripriate higher authority for payment. But the said pensioner rush to the Hon'ble High Court and we received the Notice. Question is, is it competent for the high Court to interfere? As per AFTA 2007 any appeal under the AFTA 2007 should be filed before the Supreme Court and as per Section 34 every suit or other proceedings pending before any court including High Court stand transfered to the AFTA. Is High Court proper in admitting the writ petitionunder Article 226? Thanking you all in advance.
