Medical Reimbursement Policy dated 6.5.2005 reimbursement for the treatment in all Govt. hospitals in the State of Haryana and U.T etc. is to be given at the P.G.I approved rates with the approval of the Finance Department. The respondents without considering this aspect rejected the claim of the CWP. No. 21380 of 2008 -2- petitioner. Since the petitioner is entitled to medical reimbursement at the P.G.I rates under the Govt. Policy, the denial by the respondents is totally unjustified and illegal.

Respondents are directed to consider and release the claim of the petitioner for medical reimbursement at the P.G.I rates within a period of two months from the date certified copy of this order is served upon the competent authority.
