Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reviewed the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision regarding the dismissal of the appellant, Randhir Singh, from service following a Summary Court Martial for inappropriate conduct. The Tribunal found the charge established but deemed the punishment of dismissal disproportionate, modifying it to a discharge. The appellant argued that the incident was a fabrication due to prior reporting of misconduct by the victim's spouse, raising questions about the fairness of the proceedings.
