The Delhi High Court bench has recently clarified that State cannot deny medical reimbursement under Central Government (Medical Attendance) Rules, 1944 merely on the ground that the hospital had charged an excessive amount than the approved rates.

While considering a plea in this regard, the HC bench expressed its shock regarding the fact that only Rs 51, 824 remained pending for last 16 years and the State had vehemently contested the same.
