Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision granting disability pension to the respondent, Talwinder Singh, despite the Army's findings that his injury was not attributable to military service under the Pension Regulations of the Army, 1961. The Court emphasized that the High Court correctly reversed the lower courts' decisions, which had dismissed the respondent's claims. The Court ordered the Union of India to release the disability pension along with interest, affirming the High Court's ruling.
