UNION OF INDIA vs AJAY WAHI

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of eligibility for disability pension under Regulation 50 of the Pension Regulations, which states that an officer who retires voluntarily is not entitled to a disability pension. The Court held that this provision does not violate Article 14 of the Constitution, as it serves a legitimate purpose in distinguishing between voluntary retirement and invalidation due to service-related disabilities. The appeal by the Union of India was allowed, affirming the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition.
