Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to the One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme for ex-servicemen, examining the principles of equality and non-discrimination under Article 14 of the Constitution. The court emphasized the need for periodic revision of pensions and recognized the financial implications of the OROP policy. Ultimately, the court directed the government to ensure that the OROP scheme is implemented in a manner that adheres to constitutional mandates, thereby upholding the rights of ex-servicemen.
