Delhi High Court Directs State Trading Corporation Of India To Fully Reimburse Medical Expenses Of ₹23.79 Lakhs To Its Retired Employee
Live LawThe Delhi High Court recently directed the State Trading Corporation of India Ltd to reimburse medical expenses of Rs.23.79 lakh to one of its former employees, incurred by him due to the hospitalization of his wife. The petitioner's claim for reimbursement of medical expenses was rejected by the STC in view of its Circular dated 12.11.2010. Therefore, neither Clause 4.4 of the Medical Scheme, which no doubt Petitioner himself relies on, nor the ceiling limit in the Circular dated 12.11.2010, can be an impediment in the way of the Petitioner getting reimbursement of actual expenses, in light of the settled law.” It was of the view that Clause 4.4 of the Medical Scheme or ceiling limit in the Circular dated 12.11.2010 would prevent the petitioner from receiving reimbursement. In fact, the Courts have repeatedly held that in an emergency case, even the fact that the treating hospital is not empanelled, will make no difference.” The Court thus quashed the STC's order rejecting the petitioner's claim and directed the STC to reimburse the entire medical expenses to the petitioner.
