    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed the Union of India's challenge to an Armed Forces Tribunal order granting Ex-Naik Surender Kumar service pension after condoning a 1-year-80-day service shortfall. The court found the issue was already settled by the Supreme Court's judgment in Union of India v. Balakrishnan Mullikote, which granted similar relief to soldiers with comparable service records, and therefore the challenge could not be entertained. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
