      The petitioner who is an ex-serviceman and had served the Indian<\/p>\n
Navy for 14 years, is seeking for payment of adequate pension with the<\/p>\n
service element and the disability element applicable to his rank. He served<\/p>\n
the Indian Navy for 14 years from 10.8.1968 to 31.8.1982. In January 1982<\/p>\n
the petitioner was working in the Pilotless Target Aircraft Squadron in INS<\/p>\n
Nilgiri. An accident occurred on 14.1.1982 while on duty. When he was<\/p>\n
adjusting the R.P.M., the propeller         hit his right hand causing serious<\/p>\n
injuries. He had to undergo treatment for a long time and was medically<\/p>\n
downgraded by the Medical Board which recommended to release him in<\/p>\n
low medical category. The disability was found 30% attributable to naval<\/p>\n
service. Thus, he was invalidated out of service after 14 years.<\/p>\n
      2. The petitioner had been requesting for sanction of pension which<\/p>\n
was eventually considered by Ext.P2 wherein he has sanctioned disability<\/p>\n
pension to the tune of Rs.40\/- per month for the period from 1.9.1982 to<\/p>\n
26.6.1984. After repeated representations and a re-assessment by the<\/p>\n
Medical Board which assessed his disability at 30% permanent for life, he<\/p>\n
WPC 26516\/07                          2<\/span><\/p>\n
was sanctioned Rs.570\/- per month with effect from 22.6.2004 for life.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Central Government had revised the minimum pension<\/p>\n
including invalid pension and family pension to Rs.375\/- initially on the<\/p>\n
recommendation of the IVth Central Pay Commission and at Rs.1275\/- on<\/p>\n
the recommendation of the Vth Pay Commission. Again, it was revised by<\/p>\n
the first respondent to Rs.1913\/- per month with effect from 1.1.2004. The<\/p>\n
disability element was also enhanced to Rs.1,900\/- for 100% disability for<\/p>\n
JCO with effect from 1.1.1996.\n<\/p>\n
       3. The applicability of the order granting minimum pension to such<\/p>\n
pensioners was considered by this court while rendering Ext.P6 judgment.<\/p>\n
Thereafter, by Ext.P7, the      same was implemented in respect of the<\/p>\n
petitioner therein.   Even though there was subsequent       revision in the<\/p>\n
minimum pension, as far as the petitioner is concerned, he was informed by<\/p>\n
Ext.P9 that he is granted disability pension at Rs.570\/- only. This is under<\/p>\n
challenge in this writ petition.\n<\/p>\n
       4.   The respondents have filed a counter affidavit denying their<\/p>\n
liability in the matter and supporting the orders issued. They are also<\/p>\n
relying upon Ext.R2 regulations in support of their plea.<\/p>\n
       5. Actually, the issue that is pleaded by the petitioner is covered in<\/p>\n
his favour by Ext.P6 judgment.          Therein, this court was pleased to<\/p>\n
WPC 26516\/07                            3<\/span><\/p>\n
consider the effect of Ext.P3 therein (Order No.2\/14\/87-PIC dated 5.3.87<\/p>\n
issued by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions,<\/p>\n
Department of Pensioner’s Welfare), whereby Rs.375\/- was fixed as<\/p>\n
minimum pension with effect from 1.1.1986. The petitioner in that writ<\/p>\n
petition was also disabled to the tune of 30% and was granted the minimum<\/p>\n
pension as per the said order. But later, it was reduced to Rs.90\/- per<\/p>\n
month. The reduction and the consequent recovery was challenged in that<\/p>\n
writ petition. The true effect of the said order was considered in paragraphs<\/p>\n
6 and 7. The question was whether the said order is applicable only to<\/p>\n
service pension and not the disability pension.        After considering this<\/p>\n
aspect, it was held in para 7 in the following terms:\n<\/p>\n
       “Ext.P3 is intended to benefit the low paid pensioners. It has to be<\/p>\n
       interpreted in a liberal way and not in a way to take away the<\/p>\n
       benefits. Plain terms of Ext.P3 speaks that it is applicable to all<\/p>\n
       pensioners. Words and mandate of Ext.P3 are very clear and cogent<\/p>\n
       and there is nothing in Ext.P3 limiting it only to service pensioners<\/p>\n
       given after retirement of particular period of service. In fact, it is<\/p>\n
       specifically    stated    that   it  is   not   only   applicable    to<\/p>\n
       superannuation\/retiring pension and it is applied to invalid pension,<\/p>\n
       compensation and family pension. But, it is the minimum allowed.<\/p>\n
       In this case, disability pension was granted to the pensioner as he was<\/p>\n
       released from military due to the disability admitted attributable to<\/p>\n
WPC 26516\/07                           4<\/span><\/p>\n
       the service. Ext.P3 is applicable to the petitioner. In fact, he was<\/p>\n
       paid the above with effect from 1.1.1986. But, respondent reduced<\/p>\n
       the pension to Rs.90\/- per month and took steps to recover the<\/p>\n
       amount paid excess. On going through Ext.P3 and other averments, I<\/p>\n
       am of the opinion that petitioner is entitled to get the minimum<\/p>\n
       pension from 1.1.1986 as per Ext.P3 till 22.5.1995, the last date upto<\/p>\n
       which he was granted pension and 1.1.1986 to 22.5.1995, he is<\/p>\n
       entitled to get Rs.375\/- per month. Ext.P4 is set aside. Respondents<\/p>\n
       are directed to pay the balance amount of pension for the period<\/p>\n
       1.1.1986 to 22.5.1996 at the minimum rate of Rs.375\/- per mensem<\/p>\n
       after deducting the amount already paid to him. The amount should<\/p>\n
       be paid within three months from today failing which it will carry<\/p>\n
       12% interest from 22.5.1995 till its payment.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
       6. Judged in the light of the above dictum, the petitioner herein is<\/p>\n
entitled to succeed in this writ petition. As pointed out in the writ petition,<\/p>\n
the minimum pension at Rs.375\/- which was fixed from 1.1.1986 based on<\/p>\n
the recommendation of the IVth Pay Commission, has been revised from<\/p>\n
time to time. This is a case where the petitioner was discharged from<\/p>\n
service consequent on sustaining a permanent disability which is<\/p>\n
attributable to naval service and the disability is at 30%. Even though the<\/p>\n
Medical Board reviewed it in the year 2004, there were no grounds to<\/p>\n
discontinue the pension from 1984. Going by Ext.P4, sanction was granted<\/p>\n
to waive the delay to conduct RSMV. At that point of time, the disability<\/p>\n
WPC 26516\/07                             5<\/span><\/p>\n
was assessed at 30% permanent for life. Ext.P5 will show that it is granted<\/p>\n
with effect from 22.6.2004 for life. In fact, going by the dictum laid down<\/p>\n
in Ext.P6 that the minimum pension is applicable to all pensioners, the<\/p>\n
petitioner is entitled for the benefit of minimum pension considering the two<\/p>\n
elements and it is subject to revision from time to time.<\/p>\n
      7. Therefore, the writ petition is allowed. Ext.P9 is quashed. The<\/p>\n
respondents are directed to sanction minimum pension from 1.1.1986 to<\/p>\n
1.1.1996 and the revised pension at Rs.1250\/- from 1.1.1996 along with<\/p>\n
service element and disability element applicable to him with all<\/p>\n
consequential benefits including arrears at revised rates from time to time<\/p>\n
within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this<\/p>\n
judgment. He will be entitled for any revision of pension sanctioned during<\/p>\n
the pendency of the writ petition, if any.\n<\/p>\n
      The writ petition is allowed as above. No costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                       (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.)<\/p>\n
