My father, a retired sailor who served the Indian Navy for six years and four months, was medically discharged in January 1979 with an 80% disability. Unfortunately, he hasn’t received any pension or medical benefits since then. He’s considering filing a case to claim his rightful entitlements as an ex-serviceman. Should he proceed?

Yes, your father should definitely proceed with filing a case. His service and disability qualify him for pension and medical benefits under the Indian Navy’s regulations. He should consult a lawyer specializing in ex-servicemen’s rights to guide him through the legal process.
