Aduan oleh askar-lasykar

(1) Jika seseorang askar-lasykar berpendapat bahawa dia telah dipersalahkan mengenai apa-apa perkara oleh mana-mana pegawai selain pegawai memerintahnya atau oleh mana-mana askar-lasykar, dia boleh membuat sesuatu aduan berkenaan dengan perkara itu kepada pegawai memerintahnya. (2) Jika seseorang askar-lasykar berpendapat bahawa dia telah dipersalahkan mengenai apa-apa perkara oleh pegawai memerintahnya, sama ada disebabkan oleh sesuatu pemulihan yang diberikan terhadap sesuatu aduan di bawah subseksyen yang terdahulu tidak memuaskan hatinya atau kerana apa-apa sebab lain, dia boleh membuat suatu aduan berkenaan dengannya kepada mana-mana pegawai atasan yang di bawahnya pengadu itu sedang berkhidmat pada masa itu. (3) Hendaklah menjadi kewajipan seseorang pegawai memerintah atau pegawai lain untuk menyiasat apa-apa aduan yang diterima olehnya di bawah seksyen ini secepat yang dapat dilaksanakan dan mengambil apa-apa langkah sebagaimana yang pada pendapatnya perlu untuk memulihkan perkara yang diadukan itu.
