New Delhi: The Supreme Court has come down heavily on the Defence Ministry after some retired army officers approached the court over discrepancies in pensions.
The Supreme Court has issued contempt notice to Army chief General Deepak Kapoor and Defence Secretary for not implementing court's order on the 5th pay commission.
The apex court in October 2008 had said that there should not be any discrimination between pre-1996, post-1996 defence pensioners. The Defence Ministry did not implement the order.
