|
Overview
Noting that the denial of the claim for medical reimbursement on the ground that it was taken in OPD, is not based on a reasonable classification, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has upheld the single judge's decision directing the Haryana government to reimburse the medical expenses incurred for the treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) of a state government employee's spouse in an OPD setting.
