💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has rebuked the Centre for frequently appealing against disability pension grants to retired armed forces personnel, stating that each case doesn't require court intervention. The court urged the Centre to establish a policy to exercise discretion before filing appeals, suggesting that frivolous appeals could harm the morale of the armed forces. The court threatened to impose heavy costs on the Centre for such appeals if no policy is formed.
