W.P. No. 768 of 2008 (S/S) With Int. Relief App. 4732 / 08 Hon. Prafulla C. Pant, J. Mr. Anil Dabral, Advocate present for the petitioner. Ms. Anjali Bhargava, Central Government Counsel present for the respondents. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the order dated 07.07.2000 (copy Annexure –1 to the writ petition) whereby the petitioner, an ex-Sepoy, has been refused disability pension. The petitioner has further challenged the order dated 02.08.2001 (copy Annexure –3 to the writ petition) whereby the appeal of the petitioner has also been dismissed by the departmental appellate authority. The impugned orders are being challenged after almost seven years without explanation for the latches on the part of the petitioner. Apart from this, the impugned order (copy Annexure –3 to the writ petition) shows that the petitioner had a history of unprotected sex with commercial sex worker in 1996. In view of the fact that the disability (acquiring AIDS) cannot be said to be attributable to the military service rendered by the petitioner, this Court finds this writ petition devoid of merits. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed in limine. (Interim Relief Application No. 4732 of 2008 also stands dismissed). (P.C. P., J.) 29.07.2008 HN 2
