Answer: Ministry of Defence
Notes: The Supreme Court suggested setting up Benches of the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) in Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh to address growing defence-related case pendency. AFT is a military tribunal established under the Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007. It functions under the Ministry of Defence. It resolves military-related disputes, including service matters and appeals from court-martial decisions. The suggestion aims to speed up the resolution of defence cases in these areas.
