Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of entitlement to disability pension under the relevant military pension rules. 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. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's decision that the appellant was not entitled to the disability pension based on the medical consensus and applicable guidelines.
