Policy blocks giving disability pension to outboarded military cadets: Centre to SC
The Centre told the Supreme Court it can't grant disability pensions to military cadets boarded out for disability, citing policy constraints, but will offer skill training for resettlement.
On September 23, 2026, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta requested an extension from the Supreme Court to deliberate on a proposal to exempt the current Class 6 students from the implementation of the three-language policy. The suggestion was made after considering the comfort and convenience of Class 6 students, rather than a legal standpoint, according to Justice Joymalya Bagchi on a three-Judge Bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant.
The Chief Justice urged the government to clarify the availability of teachers and infrastructure to support the three-language scheme, and set a deadline of Monday, September 28, 2026, for the case to be reviewed. In a previous hearing, the Court had proposed making the scheme mandatory for Class 6 students starting January 1, 2027, instead of suddenly affecting the current batch with only four months left in the academic year.
The government had initially proposed starting the scheme with Class 6 students this year, but the current Class 6 batch would have to undergo the full implementation, including a mandatory Class 10 Board exam in the third language by 2031.
