Headnote | Service Law : Medical reimbursement - Imported medicines - Government of India instructions dated 21.7.1972 - Instructions dated 1.1.1991 issued by Government of Punjab - Applicability of - Respondent's son suffering from pituitary glands - Import of Norditropin injection - Claim for reimbursement of purchase of injection - Rejection by appellant Board - Writ - Direction by High Court to reimburse the amount with interest - Appeal preferred by Board - Held, under the instructions reimbursement of imported drug is permitted only where the imported drug was a "life saving drug" - ln this case drug in question was not essential for "saving the life of the patient" - That the disease of the patient was a "chronic disease" does not mean that it was "life threatening'' - The Board, was, therefore, perfectly justified on the basis of instructions referred to above and its policy decision, to decline to reimburse the medical expenses incurred on the purchase of the imported drug Norditropin, being not a "life saving drug'' - Since, the High Court wrongly assumed the drug to be a "life saving drug" it clearly fell in error in issuing the direction for reimbursement of the amount. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT).

NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
