MOHAMMED ANSARI vs U.O.I

The Supreme Court held that members of the General Reserve Engineering Force (GREF) do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Central Administrative Tribunal as per the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, referencing the decisions in R. Viswan & Ors. v. Union of India and Union of India v. Smt. Vidyawati. The Court affirmed the High Court's conclusion that GREF personnel are not considered members of the Armed Forces for the purposes of the Administrative Tribunals Act, thus denying them the right to invoke its jurisdiction. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's ruling.
