Dharamvir Singn vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of a member of the Armed Forces to disability pension under Regulation 173 of the Pension Regulations for the Army, 1961. The Court held that the presumption of sound physical and mental condition upon entering service is valid unless disabilities are recorded at that time. The Court upheld the Division Bench's decision that the appellant's condition of 'generalized seizure' was not attributable to military service, thus denying the claim for disability pension.
