Satbir Singh vs Chief Of The Army Staff,New Delhi&Anr.;

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to set aside the appellant's discharge from service was justified, but it erred in denying the counting of the intervening period for terminal benefits. The Court emphasized that once the termination was found unsustainable, the appellant should be entitled to have the intervening period considered for terminal benefits. The Court ordered that the intervening period be counted for the purpose of terminal benefits, thereby allowing the appellant to receive the benefits he was entitled to after reinstatement.
