JUSTICE C. HARI SHANKAR HON'BLE MR.

JUSTICE AJAY DIGPAUL JUDGMENT(ORAL) % 17.07.2025

C. HARI SHANKAR, J.

1. These writ petitions deal with the entitlement of the respondents to disability pension. The Union of India assails decisions of the Armed Forces Tribunal, whereby disability pension stands granted to the respondents.

2. These cases stand covered by as on date more than eighty judgments passed by this Bench as well as by a Coordinate Benche of this Court. They also stand covered by the judgment of the Supreme Court in Dharamvir Singh v UOI[1] as well as the recent decision of the Supreme Court in Vijender Singh v UOI[2].

3. Against one of these decisions, which was rendered by us in UOI v Ex Sub Gawas Anil Madso[3], an SLP has been preferred before the Supreme Court in which notice alone has been issued and no interim orders have been passed.

4. We are not informed that any SLP has been preferred against any of the other matters passed by this Bench or the Coordinate Bench.

5. In its recent decision in Union Territory of Ladakh v Jammu & Kashmir National Conference[4], the Supreme Court has deprecated the practice of hierarchically lower Courts including the High Courts keeping matters pending merely because some issue is pending before the Supreme Court. Even where the correctness of a judgment has been doubted by the Supreme Court, the decision in Jammu & Kashmir National Conference directs High Courts to implement the law as it stands and not to adjourn matters awaiting the outcome of the appeals in the Supreme Court.

6. We have taken stock of this judgment in para 60 of the judgment in Gawas Anil Madso.

7. We, therefore, proceed to decide these writ petitions on the basis of the decisions taken by this Court.

8. A tabular statement of the position as it emerges in all these writ petitions, including the decisions by which the individual writ petitions, may be provided thus: Item No WP(C) No. Name of Respondent Disability Years of service Reasoning given by the RMB 1 W.P.(C) 2308/2024 Col.

Suffice it to state that learned Counsel for the UOI, in these petitions, too, was unable to urge that these cases are not covered by our earlier decisions.

11. Following the aforesaid, all these writ petitions are dismissed. The petitioners are directed to implement the orders passed by the Tribunal within a period of eight weeks from today.
