    CASE OUTCOME SUMMARY: The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir dismissed the Union of India's petition challenging an Armed Forces Tribunal decision. The court upheld the tribunal's award of disability pension at 50% (instead of 30%) to Ex-L/Nk Lakha Singh, including both service and disability pension elements despite him not completing the mandatory 15-year qualifying service period. The court held that since the respondent's low medical category discharge prevented him from obtaining service extension, he qualifies as "deemed invalidated" under pension regulations, making him entitled to both pension elements without minimum service requirements.
