Supreme Court Rebukes Centre Over Disabled Officer Cadets' Welfare Measures
The Supreme Court reprimanded the Centre for not complying with its August 4, 2026, directive to reconsider welfare measures for military officer cadets who became disabled during training. The court noted the government only cited meetings from 2022 without genuinely reviewing the 2015 Sabharwal Committee's recommendations on disability pensions and ex-servicemen status. The bench emphasized the need to address the difficulties faced by boarded-out cadets and sought a substantive response from the Centre.
