'No Constitutional Infirmity': SC Upholds Govt's One Rank One Pension Policy

A three-judge bench of the Supreme Court said that the decision by the government was not arbitrary.

The Supreme Court said on Wednesday, 16 March, that there was no constitutional infirmity in the central government's One Rank One Pension (OROP) policy.

The apex court disposed of the plea filed by the Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement, which was seeking the implementation of the policy in the armed forces with an annual revision. The plea had questioned the Centre's decision of a periodic review every five years in this regard.
