JUDGMENT The petitioner was denied the benefit of disability pension as per Ext.P4 by the second respondent. It appears that the petitioner was discharged from service with effect from 30.6.2008 pursuant to Ext.P1 medical report. The petitioner has produced Ext.P3 which is a proceedings of the Medical Board. According to him, he had 35 years of unblemished service in the Defence Forces. Apparently, the request for disability pension was rejected on the ground that the disabilities reported in the medical report are neither attributable nor aggravated by military service. Challenging the same, the petitioner has filed Ext.P5 appeal before the competent authority. 2. Heard learned counsel for the respondents also. Since the matter is pending in appeal before the competent authority, there will be a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.)
