Orders
Case Summary: WP(C) 1665/2026 The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir dismissed the Union of India's petition challenging the Armed Forces Tribunal's order granting Ex. Nk. Nishan Singh disability element rounding off from 30% to 50% with effect from 01.04.2001. The court held that once disability entitlement is recognized, arrears cannot be restricted by limiting benefits to 01.01.2016 as per government circular, relying on settled Supreme Court precedent that objections based on delay and limitation in disability pension matters are without merit. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
