In Brief
Prem Singh Gill, who appears to be a military veteran or government servant, appealed against the determination of his disability percentage. The Supreme Court, having heard the appellant in person and counsel for the respondents, invoked Article 142 of the Constitution to grant discretionary relief. The Court fixed his disability at 75% effective from the date of his retirement and directed all consequential benefits to be computed and paid within two weeks, with arrears to carry interest at the rate previously fixed by the Tribunal. No legal precedent was required to decide the case."
