a detailed reply can be given, if you divulge more information about the case. Anyway, if you feel that your interests are affected due to court martial, you can seek remedy through concerned AFT having jurisdiction. It is advised to take all precaution before the court martial gets concluded. As you must be aware, it is always one-sided favouring army authorities, and seeking redressal at later stage may become futile.

Dear Sir
Without citing the reasons for the court martial we will not be able to guide you in the matter. Court Martial is an internal matter of the armed forces. Without giving notice and the cause for the court martial will not be conducted. As soon as the chargesheets are received the concerned defence person has got a right to defend himself by submitting a reply to the chargesheet denying all the charges if the charges are not correct.

Even after the court martial proceedings are over and the final outcome are conveyed to the chargesheeted defence person , the def person always has the right to defend himself by appealing against the proceedings
