💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India granted disability pension to an army man discharged for Schizophrenia. The court emphasized that medical reports must provide reasons for discharge and pension denial, as this is crucial for decision-making. The bench, led by Justices Abhay S. Oka and N. Kotiswar Singh, stressed the importance of a liberal approach in constructing such beneficial provisions, highlighting the difficulties faced by servicemen in proving the connection between their illness and military service.
