2. For the reasons mentioned in the application(01/2025),the same is allowed.
3. Amended cause title is taken on record.
4. 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
[2025:RJ-JP:35810-DB] (2 of 2) [CW-10524/2024] 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.
5. The present petition has been filed by Union of India seeking to re-agitate the matter which stands already well settled in several cases.
6. We noticed that judgment passed by AFT is in favour of the respondent. He has been expired, during the pendency of the writ petition.
7. In Union of India & Ors. Vs. No 2849994 Rfn (Reservist) Man Singh: D.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 7831/2025, we have taken a view that delay in challenging such orders is material. Compliance of the order relating to grant of pension of retiral benefits has to be done immediately.
8. We do not find any reason therefore to entertain this civil writ petition at such a belated stage, hence, the same is dismissed with direction to release the amount as directed by the AFT along with interest @ 12% per annum.
