STATE OF HARYANA vs HUSSAIN

The Supreme Court upheld the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision granting disability pension to respondents, emphasizing that the Tribunal's finding of disability being attributable to military service was justified despite contrary opinions from Medical Boards. The Court noted that the Tribunal had the authority to assess the evidence and determine the entitlement to pension under the relevant Pension Regulations. The ruling clarified that the earlier decisions cited by the appellants did not constitute binding precedent due to differing factual contexts, particularly referencing Dharamvir Singh v. Union of India (2013) 7 SCC 316.
