    Case Summary: CWP/9850/2025 Court Decision (13.05.2026): The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed the Union of India's challenge to the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision granting invalid pension to Ex-Recruit Manjit Singh for his brief service (21.12.1995-06.05.1996). The court upheld the Tribunal's order, rejecting the government's arguments that the 10-year qualifying service requirement applied and that recruits were ineligible for invalid pensions, citing settled Supreme Court precedent establishing invalid pension eligibility regardless of service length when disability causes permanent incapacity. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
