Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the Central Government to establish an Armed Forces Grievance Commission within two months to address the widespread discontent among serving and retired armed forces personnel regarding pension, pay scales, and other benefits. The Court emphasized the need for an independent body to hear grievances, citing the case of Capt. C.S. Sidhu to illustrate the urgency of addressing inadequate pensions. The Court recognized the sacrifices made by armed forces members and the importance of ensuring their legitimate dues are met.
