casestatus.in Summary

Summary of Union of India v. Mange Lal (C.A. No. 5006/2012) The Supreme Court dismissed the Union of India's appeal, upholding the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision to vitiate Mange Lal's Summary Court Martial due to the failure to obtain his signature on the guilty plea record. The Court held that 1984 Army administrative instructions requiring accused signature on guilty pleas have the force of Rules and their non-compliance vitiates the entire trial. Consequential service benefits, including notional pay fixation, were directed to be paid within three months, excluding back wages for non-service periods.
