Om Prakash Singh vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of entitlement to disability pension under military service regulations, specifically examining the applicability of the principles outlined in the Guide to Medical Officers (Military Pensions) 2002. The Court upheld the findings of the Medical Board, which determined that the appellant's unspecified psychosis was neither attributable to nor aggravated by military service, as it was contracted in a peace area and not under stressful conditions. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision rejecting the claim for disability pension.
