Dear sir/mam a soldier is given 4 months RI with dissmiss from service on being deserter for 18 months and missing i card.
His grounds for offence were severely ailing parents with noone to look after and encroachment in his property.
Is there any possibility to reduce his punishment to start his life again and to cater his family ?
If possible how.

File an appeal before Armed Forced Tribunal of jurisdiction through a local lawyer.
Prima facie the punishment awarded by the Court Marshal is disproportionate to offence and it can be set-aside, if properly presented and contested.
