HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA W.P.No.10749 of 1998 Dated 20th day of March, 2007 Between: K. Sunder Ramam .. Petitioner And A.P. Electronics Development Corprn. Limited, rep. by its Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Hyderabad .. Respondent O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus to declare the action of the respondent in not paying a sum of Rs.1,81,793.99 towards medical reimbursement as per Rule 12 of the A.P. Electronics Development Corporation Medical Benefits Rules (for short “Medical Benefit Rules”), as arbitrary and illegal, and consequently direct the respondent to reimburse the amount. The brief facts of the case are that the petitioner worked as General Manager in the respondent-Corporation and retired from service on 31.7.1997 under Voluntary Retirement Scheme. On 2.6.1993, he underwent operation for kidney and renal transplantation at Satya Kidney Centre, Hyderabad, which is one of the approved panel hospitals. The total cost of the treatment was fixed at Rs.1.87 lakhs and the petitioner submitted his claim for medical reimbursement as per entitlement under the Medical Benefits Rules. He also made a representation, dated 28.7.1997 enclosing the estimate of expenditure and the certificate issued by Satya Kidney Centre, Hyderabad, to the Corporation requesting to sanction the expenses. Now, the petitioner’s grievance is that the respondent has not paid his medical reimbursement so far. Heard the learned counsel for both the parties. It is clear that the representation seeking reimbursement of Rs.1.87 lakhs was given on 28.7.1997, but the authorities concerned have not passed any orders. If really the petitioner submitted his representation and is legally entitled to the reimbursement, this Court deems it appropriate to direct the respondent-Corporation to consider his case sympathetically and pass appropriate orders reimbursing the amount claimed by him. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _______________ 20.03.2007 bcj
