UNION OF INDIA vs JASWANT KUMAR

The Supreme Court directed the Union of India to ensure that the United India Insurance Company pays the benefits of the Group Personal Accident Insurance Scheme to the respondent within three months, along with interest for delayed payment, as the premium was deducted regularly for three years without payment. The Court upheld the High Court's decision allowing the respondent's promotion despite his low medical category, noting that he had successfully passed the promotion test and that his case was forwarded by mistake. The legal issues regarding medical categories for promotions were left open for future consideration.
