IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.2105 of 2007 Date of Decision: March 31, 2009 Gurcharan Singh .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS Union of India & Others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. K.S. Sivia, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Ranjana Shahi, Central Government Standing Counsel, for the respondents. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) The petitioner, after 39 years of his invaliding out of he being invalided out of service on 15.6.1967, has approached this Court for claiming disability pension. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that there is no note given at the time of entry of the petitioner in service which would indicate that the petitioner suffered from any disability. The petitioner was invalided out of service on account of a disability on medical grounds. Learned counsel, in view of these CWP No.2105 of 2009 [2] above given facts, contends that it has to be concluded that the disease was related to military service. Learned counsel for the respondents has given a certified true copy of the Medical Board proceedings in relation to the petitioner and contends that the disease on account of which the petitioner has been invalided out, is constitutional in nature and cannot possibly be attributed to military service or aggravated by Army service. I have considered the contentions of learned counsel for the parties. Reference to the Medical Board proceedings indicates that the medical problem suffered by the petitioner is ‘Hyperhidrosis (700- 716)’. The complaint made by the petitioner was profused sweating of palms as well as soles which had increased. The doctor has further recorded that hands and feet of the petitioner were found to be covered with sweat all the time. The petitioner had large hands and feet with thick skin but no other evidence of acromegaly. In view of the nature of disease, after examining the petitioner by a Board of Doctors, it has been decided that it was a functional disorder due to nervous temperament not related to Army service. Learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to indicate from any material that the CWP No.2105 of 2009 [3] disorder was related to Army service. Medical Board proceedings or the findings recorded by the Medical Board have not been challenged. No ground for interference in extraordinary writ jurisdiction is made out. The petition is dismissed.
