In Brief
The Union of India appealed against the Armed Forces Tribunal's order quashing the General Court Martial convened against P.S. Gill, who held the position of Chief Director of Purchase. The Tribunal found no prima facie case against Gill for alleged irregularities in army ration procurement. The Supreme Court upheld the Tribunal's judgment, holding that the Tribunal had jurisdiction under Section 14 of the Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007 to entertain the application as a service matter, and found no error in the Tribunal's conclusion that insufficient evidence supported the charges against Gill.
