Decision

A member of any disciplined force, if aggrieved by an order of a court or tribunal established under law relating to the disciplined force, is debarred from invoking the writ jurisdiction, subject to the rule laid down by this Division in the case of Khondker Ehteshamuddin @ Iqbal in that the order is coram non judice or malafide. The remedy provided under Article 102 of the Constitution, in an appropriate case, may be invoked by a member of the said 'disciplined force' if he has been illegally dismissed, removed, discharged, reduced in rank of compulsorily retired.
