Delhi HC Rules in Favor of Mwo Hfl Surendra Nath Singh on Disability Pension Claim Against Union of India
Summary
The case involves Mwo Hfl Surendra Nath Singh challenging the Armed Force Tribunal's decision that denied him disability pension benefits for conditions developed during his service in the Indian Air Force. The petitioner argued that his health issues, including Primary Hypertension and Coronary Artery Disease, were aggravated by his military duties, while the Tribunal concluded they were not attributable to his service. The Delhi High Court found the Tribunal's reasoning unsustainable, emphasizing that the location of service (peace or field) does not determine the attributability of health conditions to military service. The court ultimately ruled in favor of the petitioner, highlighting the need for a causal connection between service conditions and health issues.

Justice Neena Bansal Krishna
Summary
The Save India Foundation challenged a 1980 notification by the Delhi Wakf Board that listed certain properties as wakf properties, claiming they were acquired by the Delhi Government in 1977 for development. The Wakf Board argued that the challenge was not maintainable due to the significant delay and that the properties had been properly designated as wakf after due process. The Delhi High Court ultimately ruled against the petitioner, stating that the case was an attempt to revisit settled matters after a long period and lacked sufficient legal basis.
