Dear Reader,

''It is very true from the news that was published. Please view that follows:-To Personal & Confidential URGENT Regd. A.D.Post Dated: 07th March 2013Lt. Col. Sukhchain Singh, P.I.O., The Records Signals, c/o. 56 A.P.O. , Jabalpur, M.P. P.I.N. 908770, Ref: Your Letters P6295111/DP-4/NER dated 7th Aug. 2011(12) P/6286018/RTI/1230&1266/NER dated the 9th Nov.2012 and 8th December 2012, respectively. Inordinate delay in responding to letter communication, ever since my discharge from army service, on medical grounds for no fault of mine, discriminately held for pensioner benefits. Respected Sir, I have for thankful acknowledgement your letter Ref:P/6286018/RTI/1230 & 1266 / NER dated the 8th Dec. 2012, delivered on the 17th Dec.2012, which refers to my letter of the 30th March 2012, 16th May 2012, 25th Aug.2012 and 22nd Nov. 2012 after coming to know that Armed Forces Tribunal in the country is giving justice. THIS IS TO INVITE YOUR KIND ATTENTION, as a final reminder call on the FOLLOWING:- You would agree that “no one could just join or leave the army’ to his whims and fancies, It is the Army that recruited me, enrolled me in Teynampet, Madras (now known as Chennai) after a thorough medical examination/check-up (Physical & mental), also thereafter, have conducted medical examinations periodically at regular intervals, during my entire service period of three years and two hundred and sixty six days in the army-service until; I was medically invalided out from service. Hence, it is a clear case of medical-disability “having attributed during military service”, which was, for no fault of mine. Or else, Army could have discharged me, just on my joining, or after few months, or after a year, why after 3 years and 266 days? On my discharge from army-service, I was like a fish out of water, you can imagine, self terribly shaken to re-establish in civil life, as all my positive contributions in career building in the army went waste, though I had an exemplary/ outstanding record, passing ACE and AEC First Class within my Boys Training Period, stood first each and every year in Literary competition consequently for three long years of training in Boys Regiment, finding eligibility to join Army Cadet College, as Gentleman Cadet. On my discharge from the army, complained to the DSSA Board Chennai (Madras), who was helpless. I was then told that the medical board has considered only the most minimum of 20% medical disability, which do not entitle for disability pension. Hence, please note that I have not come out of the Army on my own accord. Besides, when the Army views ‘Absent without leave’ and ‘overstayed leave’ as very serious, granting rigorous punishment. Hence, why all this illogical ambiguity and this injustice to me? * While others medically invalided and dismissed, for even shorter period of service, less than 20% disability are paid ‘medical disability pension’? during the same emergency ..''
