Union Of India & Anr vs Talwinder Singh

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether an injury sustained by an army personnel during leave can be considered attributable to military service under the Pension Regulations of the Army, 1961. The Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the findings of the lower courts, which concluded that the injury was not attributable to military service as per paragraph 179 of the Regulations. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the High Court's judgment was set aside, reaffirming the denial of disability pension to the respondent.
