casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Union of India v. Manohar Lal Azad On November 2, 2000, the Supreme Court allowed the Union of India's appeal, setting aside the High Court's judgment that granted Manohar Lal Azad pension under the Swantantrata Sainik Samman Pension Scheme 1980. The Court held that eligibility requires *actual suffering* of minimum six months imprisonment before independence, not merely a court sentence; Azad's early release negated his qualification. The writ petition was dismissed with no costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
