The Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) is a specialised judicial forum dealing with disputes and complaints relating to the service conditions of persons subject to the Army Act, 1950, the Navy Act, 1957, and the Air Force Act, 1950. It also deals with appeals arising from orders, findings, or sentences of court-martial proceedings under the applicable armed forces laws.
In 2026, matters before the Armed Forces Tribunal continue to be governed primarily by the Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007, along with applicable rules, regulations, and other relevant laws. The Act provides for the establishment, jurisdiction, powers, procedure, and appellate functions of the Tribunal. It came into force on 15 June 2008.
An experienced Armed Forces Tribunal lawyer can assist serving personnel, ex-servicemen, officers, and other eligible persons with service-related legal matters. Depending on the circumstances, legal assistance may involve disputes concerning appointment, enrolment, service conditions, disciplinary proceedings, promotion, seniority, pay and allowances, pension, retirement benefits, dismissal, discharge, or other matters falling within the Tribunal's jurisdiction.
Armed Forces Tribunal lawyers can also assist with matters arising from court-martial proceedings, including appropriate appeals and related legal proceedings. A lawyer can review service records, departmental orders, disciplinary documents, court-martial records, correspondence, and other relevant material to identify the legal issues and advise on available remedies.
Military service matters can involve specialised legislation, service regulations, procedural requirements, and strict limitation periods. Understanding the applicable jurisdiction and filing requirements can therefore be important when challenging an order or seeking a legal remedy before the appropriate forum.
