In Union of India & Ors. v. Maj Gen Rajesh Chaba (Retd), the Delhi High Court affirmed the order of the Armed Forces Tribunal directing disability pension for soldiers afflicted with diseases such as hypertension and ischaemic heart disease, even on peace postings. The Court held that stress inherent in military life warrants presumption of service connection under the Entitlement Rules. It spurned non-verdict medical board views that were without reasoned detail and noted pensions are a constitutional entitlement, not charity. This ruling reinforces welfare jurisprudence and requires accountability and transparency from medical boards in determining disabilities.
