Bhola Singh vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition regarding entitlement to service pension, affirming the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision. The Court noted that the appellant, having completed only 10 years of service, did not meet the 15-year requirement stipulated in the Navy's statutory regulations for service element pension. The judgment clarified that the appellant's receipt of a disability pension does not entitle him to the service element, leading to the dismissal of the appeal as meritless.
