Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Armed Forces Tribunal, which quashed the order of Admonition against the appellant under the Air Force Act, 1950, specifically citing Section 83 regarding the necessity of sanction for punishment. The Court established that the appellant's rights were violated due to the lack of proper procedure in the disciplinary action taken against him. Consequently, the Court granted compensation to the appellant for the wrongful order, affirming the Tribunal's ruling.
