Government Employees treatment in Private hospitals

Government Employees have the right to the services of recognized hospitals-

According to high court every government employee has the right for his dependent to undergo treatment at recognized hospitals and doing cost cuts in repayment of bill money to the employee is not correct. The treasury officer cannot reduce the medical bill amount as per his will.

This verdict was given in the case of Indrajit Singh Retired official of PWD, when he could not get his wife Neena Thakkar, principal treated and asked for death wish as she had gone in coma. The court added that the appellant’s wife treatment was done at Fortis hospital and this hospital is a recognized hospital. In such case, the repayment of medical bills to the employee incurred at hospital cannot be denied. The treasury officer has cut the bill amount without any basis, which is wrong on his part. Mr. Indrajit Singh should get the full amount of bills incurred at hospital for his wife’s treatment in repayment.
