Union Of India vs V.R.Nanukuttan Nair

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Armed Forces Tribunal granting V.R. Nanukuttan Nair the service element of disability pension from the date of discharge. The court reasoned that the denial of the service element was unjust, as the applicant had been in a low medical category and had served for over ten years. The court emphasized the need to consider the circumstances of the applicant's discharge and the nature of his disability.
