The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed an appeal filed by a Mechanical Transport Driver enrolled in the Army Service who was dismissed from service for overstaying the leave granted to him. Finding him to be a habitual offender, the Apex Court held that such gross indiscipline by a member of the Armed Forces is unacceptable.
“Discipline is the implicit hallmark of the Armed Forces and a non-negotiable condition of service” the Top Court said in this regard.
