What's up at India's Armed Forces Tribunal

Justice Rajendra Menon, President of the Armed Forces Tribunal, has given an informative interview about developments at the court and his bucket list for the balance of his term.  Here's the list:

  • Establishing streamlined procedures to reduce case disposal timelines, particularly for court-martial appeals.
  • Advocating for the creation of additional courts at the Principal Bench in New Delhi and the Regional Bench in Chandigarh.
  • Enhancing the efficiency of Circuit Benches to provide better access to justice for veterans in areas without Regional Benches.
  • Promoting legal awareness among veterans ensuring the proper implementation of policies and circulars related to post-retirement benefits and pensions, in line with individual entitlements.
A major concern is the flood of government appeals.
