Learned counsel for the respondent has pointed out that under Section 34 of the Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007, which Act was given the assent by the President on 20th December, 2007, the jurisdiction in the matter is of Armed Forces Tribunal and the writ petition is liable to be transferred to the Armed Forces Tribunal. Counsel contends that the Court does not have jurisdiction now. Counsel for the petitioner does not refute this.
