NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday criticised the Union government for repeatedly dragging armed forces personnel and their families to the top court over disputes related to pensions, highlighting the adverse impact of such litigation on morale within the armed forces.
A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan called for a policy intervention to address such cases, stressing that personnel who have served the nation should not be subjected to unnecessary legal battles.
"As it is, there are only a few people willing to serve in the armed forces. Why should the Union drag such people to this court? They have served the Union after all. Day in and day out, these matters are brought here," lamented the bench.
