UOI & OTHERS vs NO. 3989606 P, EX-NK VIJAY KUMAR

The Supreme Court upheld the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision granting disability pension to the respondent under Rule 12 of the Entitlement Rules for Casualty Pensionary Award, establishing that the respondent's injuries sustained during leave were attributable to military service. The Court clarified that the assessment of disability at 75% warranted pension benefits from the date of invalidation. The appeal by the Union of India was dismissed, affirming the tribunal's order.
