    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana set aside the Armed Forces Tribunal's order granting disability pension to Ex-HAV Satnam Singh, holding that disability pension is admissible only when disability is assessed at 20% or above at the time of discharge on completion of service terms. The court clarified that the Sukhvinder Singh precedent applies only to early invalidation cases, while the Wing Commander S.P. Rathore precedent governs completion-of-term discharges, making Singh ineligible for pension with his assessed disability below 20%. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
