The Delhi High Court just shut down 300 appeals from the defence ministry that tried to block disability pensions for soldiers. The court stood firm—these pensions aren’t charity; they’re a basic recognition of the toll military service takes, whether soldiers were on the frontlines or not.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just bureaucratic wrangling—it’s about fairness for veterans. The ruling reinforces that injuries or disabilities from service deserve support, full stop. For soldiers, it’s a win that could ease financial strain and acknowledge sacrifices that don’t always happen in combat zones. For the ministry, it’s a reminder that red tape shouldn’t outweigh duty of care.
