Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision denying disability pension to the appellant under the Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007, specifically citing Section 31. The Court found that the appellant's condition, diagnosed as 'acute schizophrenia like psychotic disorder', was constitutional and not attributable to military service, thus affirming the Tribunal's ruling that there was no causal connection between the service and the disability. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the earlier findings of the Invaliding Medical Board.
