EX. HAV. HANSRAJ SINGH (DEAD)THR. LR vs UNION OF INDIA MINISTRY OF DEFENCE THROUGH SECRETARY — C.A. No. 7952/2009

Case Summary: C.A. No. 007952 / 2009 Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal on September 28, 2021. Ex. Hav. Hansraj Singh's claim for service pension was rejected because he had rendered only 8 years 11 months and 6 days of embodied service, falling short of the mandatory 15-year minimum required under the 1985 Pension Scheme for Territorial Army personnel. The Court found the government's discharge certificate extract credible and noted the appellant's unexplained delay in pursuing claims (15+ years after discharge) and failure to produce the original discharge certificate.
