Section 43 of SSB Act : Section 43: Violation Of Good Order And Discipline

Explanation using Example

Imagine a member of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) who, while off-duty in a local market, loudly criticizes the operational strategies of the SSB in front of civilians, potentially compromising the secrecy of certain operations. This behavior is not specifically listed as an offense under The Sashastra Seema Bal Act, 2007, but it could be seen as detrimental to the discipline and reputation of the force. Under Section 43 of the Act, this individual could be charged and, if convicted by a Force Court, could face imprisonment for up to seven years or another lesser punishment deemed appropriate by the court.
