I am named as co respondent in divorce case of a couple

Dear Client,
Until and unless an employee regardless of his/her class or sector of employment is convicted by a Court of law involving moral turpitude, the disciplinary action against the employee is not warranted. But if any act on the part of an employee violates the standing service rules of the establishment or maligns its image or goodwill, the employee may be served with a show cause and a domestic inquiry is initiated in a routine manner and held in compliance with the applicable service rules to keep the code of conduct of the organization clutter-free. The criminal offence of adultery was decriminalized by the Supreme Court in 2018. As such your involvement in extramarital affairs or adultery in the past has no significance at present and does not attract any prosecution or punishment having no conviction by a Court of law. A court-martial is a type of military court that is empowered to try members of the armed forces for offenses committed under military law. The legal provisions related to court martial are governed by the Army Act, 1950 under which a court of inquiry is formed to inquire into any allegation against an army personnel and based on the findings of COI, disciplinary action is initiated. After a summary of evidence is recorded, a general court-martial (GCM) is ordered for minor offences. Under the Army Act, the accused can file a pre-confirmation petition as well as one post-confirmation petition to the Army Commander to review the order of court-martial failing which he can approach the Armed Forces Tribunal, established under the Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007 which can set aside/suspend the sentence for lack of merit or gravity in offence. Under Article 72 of the Constitution of India, the President of India can use his/her powers to pardon, reprieve, respite or remission of punishment or sentence given by a court martial.

Dear Client,
Your department might initiate an Inquiry, in case your conduct violates the company's policies or service rules. Nariman, and Indu Malhotra, in its landmark judgment Joseph Shine v. Union of India (2018), held that adultery is not a crime and struck it off the IPC. It, however, clarified that adultery would continue to remain a civil wrong and a valid ground for divorce. Therefore, adultery is not supposed to be impacted in your employment. During the Inquiry, try to defend yourself, presenting all the evidences that you had no contact with the woman since last 7 years. We hope that our response is helpful to you.
