Headnote | Army Act, 1950 – s.106 – Inquiry into absence without leave – Respondent-sepoy in the Indian Army failed to report to his new unit – He was declared to be a deserter – However, respondent reported after a lapse of 302 days – He was tried by a Summary Court Martial – Respondent pleaded guilty and he was dismissed from service – However, Armed Forces Tribunal came to conclusion that the finding arrived at by the Summary Court Martial was correct, but the sentence of dismissal was disproportionate – On appeal, held: On perusal of record it is evident that the respondent did not make any effort to apply for extension of his leave – Absence of 302 days from his duty by a member of the Armed Force was not condonable – Tribunal was in error in coming to the conclusion that the punishment which was imposed was harsh – The only basis for finding was that the respondent had put in twelve years of service – However, this was all more a reason why any responsible member of the Armed Forces should not have absented himself from service without permission – Judgment and order of the Armed Forces Tribunal set aside. |

NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
