UNION OF INDIA vs RAJBIR SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision granting disability pension to respondents, emphasizing that the Tribunal correctly found the disabilities were attributable to military service despite contrary opinions from Medical Boards. The Court clarified that the Tribunal's assessment was valid as it considered the totality of evidence, including the precedent set in Dharamvir Singh v. Union of India (2013) 7 SCC 316, which distinguished earlier cases. The appeals by the Union of India were dismissed, affirming the entitlement to pension under relevant Pension Regulations.
