Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined whether a discharged army personnel diagnosed with schizophrenia was entitled to disability pension. The Armed Forces Tribunal had denied the claim, holding that the disability was constitutional and not attributable to military service. The Court analyzed the medical evidence and the criteria for disability benefits, ultimately upholding the tribunal's decision. The judgment clarified the standards for attributability and connection of mental health conditions to military service for pension claims.
