Army Rule 13(3) | Discharge Without Release Medical Board Recommendation Violates Statutory Pension Framework : Delhi HC
The Delhi High Court has ruled that discharging a soldier before 15 years of service without a mandatory Release Medical Board recommendation nullifies the statutory intent behind pension entitlements. An indifferent administrative attitude cannot substitute prescribed medical due process, reinstating the petitioner with full service benefits and setting a binding precedent for all medical discharges under Army Rules.
