    Case Summary: CWP/14485/2026 The Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed the Union of India's petition challenging the Armed Forces Tribunal's grant of invalid pension to Ex. Sapr Kulwant Singh. The court held that under settled Supreme Court precedent (P.A. Thomas case, 2019), invalid pension is admissible even before completing the mandatory 10-year qualifying service period if the employee is found permanently incapacitated. The court rejected both contentions: (1) that the 10-year service requirement was mandatory, and (2) that the disability must be attributable/aggravated by military service, finding no applicable rule prohibiting such grants. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
