The Court need not delve into all the facets of the disputes raised in this writ application in the light of the supplementary counter affidavit which has come to be filed on behalf of the respondent Life Insurance Corporation of India Ltd. Origin of the present dispute, however, is claim by the present petitioners made on the respondents for payment of benefit of medi-claim policy and settlement of the bills which the family had to pay during the hospitalization and subsequent death of the policy holder. The stand of the respondents is indicated in - 2 - paragraphs 7 and 8 of the supplementary counter affidavit. Their stand is that the respondent Insurance Corporation is making efforts for payment of ex-gratia in the stated facts and circumstances of the case which they do not want to be treated as precedent. Some payments have already been directed to be made and other is being processed. Learned counsel for the respondents, however, further informs the Court that the detailed break up of the bills are required from Magadh Hospital for the period from 11.3.2006 to 10.4.2006. The details may be provided either by the hospital or by the petitioners. It will surely help in expediting the whole process. It will be in the interest of the petitioners to do the needful. The Court expects that keeping in mind the stand taken by the respondents in the supplementary counter affidavit, the issue will be resolved at the earliest with due cooperation of the other side. This writ application stands disposed of with the observation aforesaid. AMIN (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
