U.O.I & Ors vs Bashir Ahmed

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court affirming the entitlement of the respondent to pension based on his service record. The Court noted that the applicable Army instructions required 15 years of service with the colors and 2 years in reserve for pension eligibility, which the respondent met according to his service certificate. The Court found no error in the High Court's interpretation of the service records and dismissed the appeals challenging the pension entitlement.
