Answer #3

Based on the facts stated, the punishment has already been undergone, and its adverse effect continues indefinitely by affecting every future promotion and your seniority. Under service jurisprudence, a penalty cannot ordinarily result in perpetual civil consequences unless the applicable service rules specifically provide so. You may challenge the same before the Armed Forces Tribunal by seeking restoration of consequential seniority or appropriate notional benefits. However, whether it amounts to “double jeopardy” will depend on the relevant Army/Service Rules and the exact nature of the penalty imposed. The success will depend upon the punishment order, promotion policy, and seniority rules. You should share above documents before filing an Application.
