Uoi & Ors vs B.N.Chaubey & Ors on 23 March, 2026
37. The Tribunal, in the IO while relying upon its previous decision
in case of A.V. Balachandran (Supra), proceeded as though the
absence of an individual order naming each post was proof that no
combatisation had occurred, and as though the mere existence of the
Rules of 1996 sufficed to clothe every JAM or Aircraft Mechanic with
civilian status, regardless of rank, scale or Presidential sanction.
