The benefit of revision of reservist pension by revision of 2/3rd of the minimum pension of regular Sepoy as per the 7th Pay Commission w.e.f. 01.01.2016 is no more an issue of res integra, as the same stands already finalized by several judgments passed by this Court, other High Courts and Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) Pan India. The same is applicable in terms of Para 155 of the Pension Regulations for the Army, 1961. 2. The present petitions have been filed by Union of India seeking to re-agitate the matter which stands already well settled in several cases. 3. We noticed that judgments passed by AFT are in favour of the respondents. 4. In Union of India & Ors. Vs.

We do not find any reason therefore to entertain these civil writ petitions at such a belated stage, hence, the same are
