Purva Sainik Act | Ex-Servicemen Entitled to Multiple Reservation Benefits; Executive Orders Cannot Restrict Statutory Rights : Uttarakhand HC

The Uttarakhand High Court ruled that ex-servicemen are entitled to reservation benefits under the Purva Sainik Act for multiple appointments, not just one. The court held that executive instructions cannot override the statutory definition of 'Purva Sainik,' ensuring ex-servicemen retain their reservation rights regardless of prior employment.
