"We judges are also human:" Supreme Court urges government to allow disability pension to Kargil war veteran discharged due to alcohol dependency
A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud said that while there might be a strong case against grant of pension, a humanitarian view needs to be taken, particularly when it comes to soldiers who have served in the front.
The Supreme Court on Monday urged the Central government to consider grant of disability pension to a soldier who was discharged on disciplinary grounds due to alcohol dependency [Union of India v. Naginder Singh].
