Judgment :- 1. Heard the learned counsels appearing for the parties concerned. 2. It is submitted by the learned counsel appearing for the respondents that a sum of Rs.8,257/- has already been paid to the petitioner as the amount incurred for the treatment of his wife for breast cancer, under the Meenakshi Mission Hospital and Research Centre, Madurai, which is an Accredited Institution. However, a sum of Rs.25,987.35/-, said to have been incurred as medical expenditure at AVM Hospital, Tuticorin, has not been reimbursed to the petitioner, since the said Hospital is a Non-accredited Institution and since the petitioner is not eligible to claim the benefits incurred in a Non-accredited Institution. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the respondents had further submitted that even though a sum of Rs.11,009.35/-, is said to have been incurred by the petitioner for the treatment at Meenakshi Mission Hospital and Research Centre, Madurai, only a sum of Rs.8,257/- has been allowed. 4. However, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner had submitted that there are discrepancies with regard to the amounts paid to the petitioners wife for the expenditures incurred for her treatment. Therefore, he prays that it would suffice if the petitioner is permitted to make a representation to the second respondent, with regard to the amounts due to be reimbursed for the expenditure incurred for the treatment of his wife and if the second respondent is directed to dispose of the same, on merits, within a specified time. 5. The learned counsel appearing for the respondents has no objection for this Court passing such an order. 6. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsels appearing for the parties concerned, the petitioner is permitted to make a representation to the second respondent, with regard to the reliefs prayed for by the petitioner, within a period of four weeks from today, and on such representation being submitted, the second respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders thereon, on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of twelve weeks thereafter. 7. With the above directions, the writ petition stands disposed of. No costs.
