for effective maintenance of discipline and administration, without disturbing the unique service conditions of each individual Service. 

The Act will empower the Heads of Inter-Services Organisations and pave the way for expeditious disposal of cases, avoid multiple proceedings. The Ministry said, it will be a step towards greater integration and jointness among the Armed Forces personnel.
