Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of a retired Havildar to a disability pension and the rounding off of his disability percentage. The court upheld the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision granting the appellant a disability pension and clarified that the rounding off of the disability percentage from 80% to 100% was warranted. The court emphasized the importance of ensuring that veterans receive their rightful benefits, particularly in light of their service and sacrifices.
