Union Of India & Ors vs Ajay Wahi

The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's decision regarding the denial of disability pension to Lt. Col. Ajay Wahi, stating that Regulation 50 of the Pension Regulations, which disallows disability pension for voluntarily retired officers, is constitutional and does not violate Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the regulations are clear in distinguishing between those invalided out of service due to disability and those who retire voluntarily. Consequently, the appeal by the Union of India was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
