My father, a dedicated soldier in the EME Corps of the Indian Army, served for 22 years, retiring as a Havildar in 2008. Despite his desire to serve for two more years, potentially achieving promotion to Nb/Subedar, he was medically retired. Unfortunately, he received neither the promotion, extension, nor a medical pension. Given his medical condition stemmed from his service, shouldn’t he be entitled to a medical pension?

Under Indian Army rules, medical retirement due to service-related conditions usually entitles a soldier to a medical pension. Your father’s situation requires investigation to determine why he did not receive this pension. He should consult with the Army’s pension department or a legal professional to understand his rights and explore potential recourse.

Previous Article I had a disagreement with a police officer on duty a few weeks ago, and I acted in self-defense. Now I’m facing charges under IPC sections 332, 353, and 323. Can you explain the typical process for this type of case and how long it might take to resolve?
Next Article My family and I are Hindus. I, the elder brother, registered a property settlement deed with my younger brother for my land. The agreement stated he’d get ownership of the first floor after repaying my loan, but in the meantime, I let him build his house there. However, after some time, he began mistreating me and my wife. I live in Hari Nabi and registered the deed at ADSR Sonarpur. He pressured me to sign some papers, claiming they were just consent forms. My father was involved and threatened that if I didn’t sign, he would tell my boss I wasn’t caring for our parents, putting my son at risk. Scared, I signed. Now, I’m worried these papers could be a Power of Attorney (POA), giving him control over the original registered settlement deed. Can he alter the agreement with the Registrar of Assurances in Kolkata? I checked for encumbrances at ADSR Sonarpur and it’s clear until 2014.
