The petitioner has come up with this Writ Petition for a mandamus directing the respondents to disburse the sum of Rs.45,000/- (Rupees Forty Five thousand only) towards the medical reimbursement to the petitioner. 4. It is the case of the petitioner that she was working as B.T.Assistant Teacher at Kannivadi Boys Higher Secondary School. She is a member of Star Health and Allied Insurance company and regularly paying subscription for the same. She is also entitled to get benefit under the Tamil Nadu Medical Attendance Rules. She suffered from thyroid problem. As she was advised to undergo surgery, she has undergone surgery. The surgery was conducted by Prof.Dr.Jothiramalingam, who is an expert in this field. She has incurred a sum of Rs.52,406/- for the same. However, the said claim has not been settled to the petitioner and hence she approached the authorities to settle the same. Since the same was not considered, she has come up with the present Writ Petition for the relief stated earlier. 5. Considering the limited scope of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the claim made by the petitioner, I direct the second respondent to consider the claim of the petitioner on merits and in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
