Punjab and Haryana High Court Orders Reimbursement for Kidney Donor’s Medical Expenses
A Haryana government teacher donated his kidney to save his critically ill son, who underwent a renal transplant in September 2024. Despite completing required formalities, the teacher waited nearly two years for reimbursement of medical expenses. The Punjab and Haryana High Court ordered the state government to pay Rs 7.46 lakh with six per cent annual interest and called for an affidavit on compliance with earlier court directions regarding hospital package rates and policy violations. The court emphasized timely reimbursement and monitoring of hospital charges.
