Case History
Case Summary: Union of India v. Ravinder Kumar (C.A. 1837/2009) The Supreme Court allowed Union of India's appeal against the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir's order granting disability pension to respondent Ravinder Kumar, who had joined the Army in 1998. The Court held that the Medical Board's opinion—that Kumar's ailment (Generalized Tonic Clonic Seizure) was genetic in origin and not service-connected—must be given primacy, and courts cannot override expert medical findings on disability causation.
