It is not in dispute that this case is amenable to jurisdiction by the Armed Forces Tribunal1. In similar matters, we have transferred the proceedings to the AFT in view of the judgment of the Supreme Court in L Chandra Kumar v. UOI2. One such order has been handed over, across the Bar, by Ms. Avshreya Pratap Singh Rudy, learned CGSC for the respondents which is of 4 December 2025 in WP(C) 6300/20213.

Accordingly, instead of requiring the petitioner to re-approach 1 "AFT", hereinafter 2 (1997) 3 SCC 261 3 Ex Cpl Pratap Jampala & Ors. v. UOI & Ors.
