Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Armed Forces Tribunal's dismissal of the appellant's application for leave to appeal against orders regarding his discharge and disability pension claim. The Court reiterated that under Section 14 of the Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007, the Tribunal's decision is final unless there is a substantial question of law. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claims, affirming that the medical condition leading to his discharge was not attributable to military service, thus denying the appeal.
