NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has taken suo motu cognizance of problems faced by cadets who incurred disabilities during military training, and scheduled to examine the issue on Monday. A bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and R Mahadevan will hear the suo motu case titled "In Re: Cadets Disabled During Military Training Struggle".
The case has been listed after a media report highlighted the plight of cadets who are medically discharged after suffering disabilities during training at premier institutions such as National Defence Academy and Indian Military Academy. As the injuries suffered by them are prior to commissioning, they are denied ex-servicemen benefits like disability pension or treatment under the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme, leaving them without any institutional support.
