    The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir partially allowed the Union of India's petition, modifying the Armed Forces Tribunal's order. While the Court upheld Janak Raj's entitlement to disability pension at 30% (rounded to 50%) for life due to primary hypertension aggravated by military service, it denied him the service element of disability pension because he completed only 10 years 2 days of DSC service instead of the mandatory 15 years, which he would not have completed even without medical discharge.
