Union Of India & Ors vs Ram Prakash

The Supreme Court held that the findings of fact by the lower courts regarding the respondent's claim for disability pension were not to be interfered with unless there was a substantial question of law. The Court emphasized that the assessment of the Release Medical Board, which found the respondent's disabilities were constitutional and not attributable to service, was binding. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's decision allowing the second appeal and restored the dismissal of the respondent's suit for disability pension.
