Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the grant of disability pension to the respondent under the relevant rules, citing that the disabilities 'Generalised Tonic Clonic Seizure' and 'Neurotic Depression' were indeed attributable to his service. The Court emphasized that the denial of pension was arbitrary and illegal, thus requiring the Union of India to provide the pension from the date of discharge. The judgment reinforces the principle that service-related disabilities warrant compensation under applicable regulations.
