IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH L.P.A. No. 1773 of 2010(O&M) Date of Decision : February 21, 2011 Radha Rani ....Appellant Versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE T.P.S.MANN Present : Mr. V.K.Shukla, Advocate for the appellant. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M.KUMAR, J. 1. The instant appeal is directed against the judgment dated 11.1.2010 rendered by the learned Single Judge holding that self dependent widow of deceased employee could not claim payment of medical reimbursement in respect of her former husband. It is not disputed that the petitioner-appellant has remarried after the death of her earlier husband and she has sworn in her affidavit while seeking employment on compassionate ground that besides the minor child she would also look after her old mother-in-law, namely, Smt.Bimla Rani- respondent No.4. The learned Single Judge has rightly disposed of the LPA No. 1773 of 2010(O&M) -2- petition by issuing direction to the official-respondent to release the payment in favour of respondent No.4-Smt. Bimla Rani, the mother of the deceased employee, at the earliest, in the interest of justice. 2. Having heard the learned counsel for the appellant, we are of the considered view that the directions issued by the learned Single Judge are unexceptional and do not call for any interference in the instant appeal. The appeal is wholly without merit and is dismissed. ( M.M.KUMAR ) JUDGE ( T.P.S.MANN ) February 21, 2011 JUDGE ajay-I
