In the present petition, the challenge is to the impugned order dated 19.11.2024 (Annexure P-1) passed by respondent No.2-Armed Forces Tribunal, Chandigarh (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Tribunal), by which, respondent No.1 has been allowed the benefit of rounding off the disability element @ 50% as against 20% w.e.f.01.02.2005 to 31.12.2015 for life, on the ground that the same is perverse. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners argues that respondent No.1 is not entitled to the benefit of rounding off the disability pension from 20% to 50% for said period and the Tribunal has wrongly granted the said benefit by placing reliance upon the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in K.J.S.Buttar Vs.
