The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a veteran against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of a war invalidity pension. The applicant argued that the law discriminated against him by excluding those abducted for extermination from the broader category of concentration camp prisoners eligible for pensions. The court held that the legislative distinction between these two groups was based on a rational criterion reflecting different degrees of suffering and did not violate constitutional equality principles.
