Giving some respite to former director general (supplies and transport) of the Army, Lt Gen S K Sahni, who was convicted by court martial in a ration scam and cashiered from service, the Chandigarh bench of Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) converted his three years rigorous imprisonment into dismissal from service. The tribunal, however, upheld his conviction in the scam.
With these orders, Sahni will not face the dishonorable dismissal – where the ranks and all regimental insignia are stripped off. But he would lose all service benefits as an ex-soldier. He may, however, get these benefits with the sanction of Union government by filing a plea.
Prison term of Lt General commuted to dissmissal
