ORDER 1. Leave granted. 2. By the impugned order, the High Court of Uttarakhand had directed for establishment of a permanent Bench of Armed Forces Tribunal in the State of Uttarakhand. Aggrieved, the Union of India is in appeal, inter alia , contending that volume of work (220 case) does not justify setting up of a permanent Bench. 3. We have considered the matter. We are of the view that the issue with regard to setting up of a permanent Bench and continuation of circuit benches of the Tribunal ought not to be the subject matter of determination by a judicial forum unless the facts of the case are so appalling that judicial interference will be called for. The present, in our considered view, is not such a case. 4. We, therefore, allow this appeal; set aside the order of the High Court with the direction to the appellant ? Union of India to take all necessary steps to ensure that the cases pertaining to the State of Uttarakhand pending before the Armed Forces Tribunal are heard and disposed of by the circuit bench as expeditiously as possible. 5. With the aforesaid observation, the appeal is allowed.
