First you will be evaluated by the Psychiatrist. Once his opinion is in your favor and if wrong details have been given by your CO then you need to file a complaint against your CO. Only thereafter you can raise your grievances before the Armed Forces Tribunal. You must note that you will have to give strong proof in this regard because FORM-10 may be filled up by the CO if he feels you require a Psy check up.

Form 10 is for the purposes of Psychological evaluation and therefore if any adverse remarks (must be false) has been made you should first get an evaluation from any recognized government hospital of repute for the same and then make representation to the medical board, along with copies to the COAS and your Commanding Officer. If they do not take any action within 90 days, you can file a petition with the AFT.
