NEKI RAM Vs. STATE OF HARYANA AND OTHERS

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner prays for medical reimbursement on account of the treatment that he had to make available to his son who is Haemophilic. Learned Counsel for the petitioner contends that the disease with which his son has been afflicted is chronic Haemophilia 'A' with pseudotumor with HIV positive since his birth. According to the Learned Counsel for the petitioner the treatment for the aforesaid affliction is available in a hospital in Pune which is the sole hospital catering to such contingencies.

(2.) A huge amount of expenditure was incurred on the said treatment out of which the respondents have reimbursed a special claim on the parity of rates as admissible in the PGIMS, Chandigarh.

(3.) DENIAL of this amount to the petitioner in the considered opinion of this Court is unfair, moreso, when the reasoning reflected in Annexure P -12 is that there is no provision in the rate list of PGIMS, Chandigarh/AIIMS, New Delhi.
