Shish Ram vs Union Of India And Ors

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the appellant from service by the brigade commander was valid under Section 20(3) of the Army Act, 1950, which grants such authority. The Court also affirmed that under Regulation 113(a) of the Pension Regulations, 1961, a dismissed individual is ineligible for pension and gratuity for prior service. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition challenging the dismissal and claiming pension.
