As per case facts, a retired employee's medical reimbursement claim for a life-threatening illness was rejected because he had opted for Fixed Medical Allowance and was not registered under CGHS. ... His legal heirs challenged this decision. The petitioners appealed to this court, challenging the Tribunal's order which allowed the reimbursement claim. The question arose whether opting for Fixed Medical Allowance or not registering under CGHS after retirement disentitles the legal heirs from claiming reimbursement for substantial medical expenses incurred for life-saving treatment. Finally, the court affirmed that the right to health is a fundamental right, and medical reimbursement cannot be denied on technical grounds like opting for FMA or non-registration, especially for serious illnesses. FMA is intended for routine expenses and cannot be construed as a waiver for extraordinary or specialized medical treatment.
