Punjab and Haryana HC Rules War Injury Pension Arrears Cannot Be Restricted
The Punjab and Haryana High Court ruled that a soldier injured by shellfire during the 1971 Indo-Pak war deserves recognition and full war injury pension benefits. The court overturned a previous tribunal order that limited pension arrears to three years due to a delayed claim, stating the benefits should have been granted without requiring the soldier or family to seek them. The Union of India did not dispute the injury's service attribution but argued the claim was belated. The court emphasized the soldier's entitlement regardless of the delay.
