The higher judiciary often needs to consult compilation of case laws on same or similar legal issues. Such is the case also for diverse aspects relating to military matters and armed conflicts. Need for such a compilation was long felt by the judges, lawyers and military authorities. This is the first and only book covering rulings given by the Supreme Court, various High Courts and Armed Forces Tribunal on military law and service conditions of the armed forces as well as of civilians paid from the Defence Estimates and ex- servicemen. Latest judgments, reported or unreported, have been classified under appropriate main headings and sub-headings and listed subject-wise in a chronological order to facilitate a systematic understanding of juristic interpretation. To facilitate easy reference, different citations of judgements reported in leading journals along with table of cases have also been enumerated. The first five editions of the book were very well received by the readers and proved a complete sell out. The sixth edition carries a revised and updated text of latest case laws pertaining to ex-servicemen, service pensioners, and para- military forces. This volume will be invaluable as a research volume for military training institutions, members of the bar & bench, staff officers serving in military units and formations besides international readers. It will also help ex- servicemen and next-of-kin to update themselves about admissible benefits and the latest case laws.
