IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civl Writ Petition No.9295 of 2011 Date of Decision : May 24, 2011. Veer Pal Kaur .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Harinder Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.J.S.Puri, Additional Advocate General, Punjab. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Notice of motion. Mr.J.S.Puri, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to seek any counter reply from the respondents at this stage. The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to re-imburse her medical claim for the outdoor treatment incurred by her in the year 2008-2009. It appears from the documents on record that part payment has been made to the petitioner but a substantial part has not been released on CWP No.9295 of 2011 [2] the plea that respondent No.3 sent the papers to respondent No.2 but respondent No.2 has denied the receipt of the documents/bills. In my considered view, the petitioner cannot be made to suffer on account of the misplacement of the documents, if any, in the office of respondent No.2 or respondent No.3 and in any case whatever documents/ bills are required, the petitioner can always be asked to submit the photocopies of the same. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner has no objection in re-submission of the documents/bills. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to ensure that due payment towards re-imbursement of the medical bills is released in favour of the petitioner and if so required a special messenger be deputed to collect the photocopies of the documents/bills from the petitioner. The needful shall be done within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. The petitioner shall also be paid the interest @ 6% per annum on the due amount. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 24, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
