P.K.KAPUR vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court regarding the pension refixation of a retired Lieutenant Colonel, affirming that the appellant was entitled to 5 years of weightage under the Fourth Pay Commission but not the additional 3 years after the Fifth Pay Commission's revision. The Court ruled that the withdrawal of the additional weightage was justified as the revised pay structure made the pension of a Lieutenant Colonel higher than that of a Major. Furthermore, the claim for enhancement of disability percentage from 30% to 50% was rejected, as the appellant retired before the relevant circular came into effect, thus not constituting discrimination under Article 14 of the Constitution.
