The Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed the Union of India's petition challenging an Armed Forces Tribunal order that granted Ex Naik Suresh Kumar service pension after condoning a 383-day service shortfall. The court held that the issue was already settled by the Supreme Court in Union of India v. Balakrishnan Mullikote (decided 24.03.2026), which permitted similar service condonation for soldiers to meet the 15-year qualifying threshold for service pension, and soldiers with similar service records had already been granted relief. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
