Service Law

Service matters before tribunals and writ courts — including Armed Forces Tribunal petitions.

Service law is a specialised discipline concerning the rights and obligations of persons in government and defence service. The Chamber represents serving and retired defence personnel, central and state government employees, and public sector officers before the Armed Forces Tribunal (Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi and Mumbai benches), Central Administrative Tribunals and the High Courts.

Our service practice includes petitions for grant of pension and disability benefits, review of court-martial and departmental orders, quashing of adverse remarks in confidential reports, seniority and promotion disputes, and reinstatement following wrongful dismissal. We draft with a careful eye on service rules, regulations and precedents that decide these matters.

Every service brief is handled with the confidentiality it deserves. We understand that these disputes are deeply personal and often career-defining, and we approach them with restraint, discretion and rigorous preparation.
