The questions involved in the present proceedings are squarely covered by a judgment of three-Judge Bench of this Court in the case of State of Punjab v. Ram Lubhaya Bagga.

It is not in dispute between the parties that the respondent suffered a heart attack on 20-7-1995 and underwent bypass surgery on 29-7-1995. According to learned counsel for the respondent as there was a long queue of patients at AIIMS Hospital for bypass surgery and his case was of emergency, he had to go to other hospital. It may be so. However, in the light of the reported decision, the medical rembursement available to the respondent will that the AIIMS rates, which has already been paid to him. The additional amount which he has claimed was granted by the High Court on the ground that the new policy was not sufficiently published. The said view of the High Court cannot be sustained. Cons
