IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. LPA No. 759 of 2010 Date of Decision: August 3, 2010 Union of India and others …Appellants Versus Ex. Naik Gursewak Singh …Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR Present: Ms. Geeta Singhwal, Advocate, Sr. Panel Central Govt. Standing Counsel, for the appellants. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent, is directed against order dated 21.10.2009, passed by the learned Single Judge in CWP No. 6618 of 2009, allowing the writ petition by granting the benefit of disability pension to the respondent Ex-serviceman. Admittedly, the matter is covered by a judgment of this Court rendered in the case of Ex. Naik Parmod Kumar v. Union of India and others (CWP No. 19417 of 2007, decided on 18.2.2009). In the aforesaid judgment reliance has been placed on a Division Bench judgment of Delhi High Court rendered in the case of Mahavir Singh Narwal v. Union of India and others (Civil Writ No. 2967 of 1989, decided on 5.5.2005), which has LPA No. 759 of 2010 been upheld by Hon’ble the Supreme Court in SLP (Civil) No. 24171 of 2004. The aforesaid fact was not even disputed before the learned Single Judge. Accordingly, the learned Single Judge followed the Division Bench judgment in Mahavir Singh Narwal’s case (supra) and has granted the relief of disability pension to the respondent Ex-serviceman. There is no merit in the instant appeal warranting admission. Accordingly, the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR) August 3, 2010 JUDGE Pkapoor 2
