N.N. GODFRED . vs UNION OF INDIA AND ORS.( FOR RESPONDENT NO. 2

The Supreme Court, while adjudicating on Civil Appeal under Section 30 of the Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007, held that Submarine Pay should be included in the computation of pension for sailors in the Submarine Arm of the Indian Navy. The Court emphasized that Submarine Pay is a component of basic pay due to the hazardous nature of the work, thus overturning the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision which excluded it. The Court directed that the pension be recalculated to include Submarine Pay, ensuring fair treatment of the appellants in line with their service conditions.
