Quick Summary: A court case involving Maddipatla Surya Prakash and the Union of India has been moved from the Delhi High Court to the Armed Forces Tribunal after being stuck for over two years.
The case, W.P.(C) 13383/2023, was started by Maddipatla Surya Prakash against the Union of India and others. It had been waiting for a decision at the High Court of Delhi for more than two years as of December 9, 2025. The case involves issues that are better handled by the Armed Forces Tribunal.
Both sides, represented by Mr. Manoj Kumar Gupta for Maddipatla Surya Prakash and Mr. Akash Vajpai and others for the Union of India, agreed that the Armed Forces Tribunal is the right place to solve this issue. Judges C. Hari Shankar and Om Prakash Shukla made the decision.
"The lawyers for both sides agreed that this issue can be decided by the Armed Forces Tribunal."
Instead of starting a new case, the Delhi High Court decided to send the existing files to the Armed Forces Tribunal. This was done to make the process faster and avoid more delays.
"We instruct the Court's office to send the records of this case to the Armed Forces Tribunal."
The case is set to be reviewed by the right judges at the Armed Forces Tribunal on January 8, 2026. Both sides are expected to show up on this date without asking for any delays.
"On that date, the parties will appear before the Armed Forces Tribunal and will not ask for any postponements."
The Delhi High Court has closed the case on their end, allowing it to move to the Armed Forces Tribunal, where it will be handled in a more suitable setting.
