MOOT PROBLEM

This problem is related to a defence personnel. Two allegations were

alleged against an Air Force Commissioned Officer (Wing

Commander), Mr. Ramhet ,who was having contacts with the

foreign mission and accepted the invitation for a party from the

Foreign Mission. Later on he was interviewed by the intelligence

Bureau and on the basis of further investigations, he was court-

martialled . He was served with a letter maintaining his dismissal

from service under Section 18 of the AIR FORCE ACT, 1950 through

the pleasure of the President of India, by the order of Defence

Ministry.

Mr. Ramhet challenged the validity of the order of dismissal before

the Hon'ble High Court on the ground that no order of dismissal

could be made under Section 18 of the said Act, that the order

militates against the mandatory requirements of natural justice as

he was never given any opportunity of being heard, and the order of

dismissal has not been passed by the Competent Authority. Finally,

the Hon'ble High Court decided the case in favor of the said officer.

Against the judgment of Hon'ble High Court the central Government

made a special leave to appeal before the Apex Court.

In the above facts and circumstances of the case, the main

questions before the Hon'ble Supreme Court to be decided:

1. Whether there was a violation of fundamental right under

Article 19 of the Constitution of India?

2. Whether the Termination Order of the above said Officer was

issued according to the principle of natural justice?

3. Whether the order of Termination was issued by Competent

Authority?

4. Whether the Hon'ble High Court has jurisdiction to hear the

case of a defence personnel?
