💨 Abstract

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has ruled that unless there is evidence of a soldier developing diabetes during military service due to consuming prohibited food or lack of physical activity, authorities cannot deny disability pension. The court dismissed a plea by the central government challenging the decision of the Armed Forces Tribunal to grant disability pension to a former soldier diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus.
