New Delhi [India], Feb 20 (ANI): Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday directed officials to withdraw 60 civil appeals filed by the government in the Supreme Court against the orders of Armed Forces Tribunal/Courts in ex-servicemen pension cases.

The former officers claimed that post-retirement facilities and privileges accorded to them have been either diluted or withdrawn. (ANI)
