Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision granting disability pension to Ex. Sep. R. Munusamy, despite the long delay in filing the application. The court emphasized that the entitlement to pension should not be denied due to procedural delays, especially when the service record indicates a legitimate claim. The arrears were limited to three years prior to the application date, aligning with the Tribunal's order.
