Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision denying the appellant's claim for disability pension under the relevant military regulations, emphasizing that the disability of Schizophrenia was not attributable to or aggravated by military service as per the findings of the invaliding Medical Board. The Court noted that the appellant's service records did not indicate any incidents that could have contributed to the mental health condition, and the medical assessments confirmed the absence of service-related stressors. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's order.
