Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the High Court's decision to discharge medical cadets from their bond obligations due to medical disability. The Court emphasized that under Clause 4 of the bond agreement, cadets declared Non Service Liability (NSL) due to medical reasons are not liable to serve, and thus the demand for bond payment was unjustified. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling that upon payment of one lakh rupees, the bond liability is fully discharged, affirming the rights of the cadets under the agreement.
