Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the denial of disability pension to the appellant for the period between 24 March 1995 and 30 January 2014 was misconceived, as the appellant was assessed with a 20% disability for life effective from 30 January 2014. The Court directed that the appellant be granted arrears of disability pension for the specified period, with computation to be completed within three months. The appeal was allowed, and no costs were awarded.
