    Case Summary: CWP/14544/2026 The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed the Union of India's petition challenging the Armed Forces Tribunal's order granting disability pension to Ex-Naib Sub Harpal Singh with rounding-off from 30% to 50%. Since Singh was medically examined and found fit at enrolment (1984) but later developed Primary Hypertension during 35+ years of service, the court held the disability is presumed attributable to military service under established precedent (Dharamvir Singh, Ram Avtar cases), and the Medical Board's unsubstantiated contrary opinion cannot override this statutory presumption or deny the rounding-off benefit. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
