In Brief
Bobby Joseph, a retired military officer, appealed against an order denying him pension benefits in the rank of Lt. Colonel despite his promotion to that rank. The appeal was based on his name appearing in an official list dated 15 October 1991 and his validated service of 22 years, 1 month and 1 day. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, holding that a promoted officer is entitled to pension in the higher rank of Lt. Colonel (TS), affirming the entitlement based on the official government list and service record.
