HC orders disability pension for BSF jawan hurt in militant attack

The Punjab and Haryana High Court ordered disability pension for Satyavir Singh, a BSF constable from Haryana who sustained a 45% disability after a militant attack in Bijnour in 1991. Authorities had denied his claim since 2019, citing voluntary retirement. The court quashed that decision, directing he be treated as medically boarded out from November 2009.
