In a recent order, the Armed Forces Tribunal Regional Bench, Lucknow had slapped the department. The Counsel for the Applicant Mr. Vinay Pandey argued that the department had denied disability pension to the applicant. He further submits that the Re-Survey Medical Board held on the direction of the order passed by this Tribunal had not denied that disability did not exist during the intervening period. In the absence of a specific medical opinion, the action of the department to stop disability pension for the intervening period is ill-founded and misconceived. Considering the aspect of the argument and Medical opinion record in RSMB the Tribunal has ordered the Army Authorities to grant the disability pension to the applicant for the intervening period.
