The brief facts of the case are that the petitioner herein submitted medical reimbursement bill of her mother’s, who was treated at Care Hospital, Nampalli, for a sum of Rs.1,39,198/- and later, she was retired. Subsequently, as per G.O.Ms.No.9606/D3-3/2009, the Director of Schools Education sanctioned an amount of Rs.90,000/- and the petitioner received the said amount. Subsequently, it was found that the reimbursement is not a genuine one and hence, the complaint was lodged. In the mean time, the petitioner deposited the entire amount along with interest to the Government.
