Delhi HC grants disability pension to IAF cadets with seizures.

The Delhi High Court awarded disability pensions to two Indian Air Force cadets, Rohit Choudhary and Anupam Bhandari, who developed seizures during their service, ruling that their conditions were attributable to the stresses of military training. The court emphasized that the medical board failed to provide a definitive cause for the seizures, thereby granting the benefit of doubt to the cadets. The ruling highlights the need for a thorough re-evaluation of service-related health issues and the recognition of the risks associated with rigorous training. However, a third cadet, Nidhi Parihar, was denied similar relief due to her pre-existing seizure history.
