UNION OF INDIA vs JUJHAR SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court granting disability pension to the respondent under Regulation 179 of the Pension Regulations for the Army, 1961. The Court found that the respondent's disability, resulting from an accident during annual leave, was indeed attributable to his military service, as he was still considered a member of the armed forces during that period. The appeal by the Union of India was dismissed, affirming the entitlement to disability pension.
