Onus Of Proof On Review Medical Board To Prove How Disability Isn't Attributable To Or Aggravated By Service: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court held that the onus of proof is on the Review Medical Board to prove how a disability isn't attributable to or aggravated by service. This ruling pertains to cases involving disability benefits for individuals in service, likely government or armed forces personnel. The court's decision places the burden on the medical board to provide clear reasons and evidence if they conclude that a disability is not service-related. This protects the rights of individuals seeking disability benefits.
