Suit no.:194/07 8/15
This question has already been decided by our Hon'ble High Court in 2012
(III) AD Delhi 421 "Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Vs Ganpt Rai &
Ors." holding that the amount already reimbursed under medi claim policy to
the petitioner cannot be claimed twice. Thus the amount which has been
reimbursed to the petitioner under the medi claim policy is liable to be
deducted. The duplicate bills of Rs. 27,965.93/ & Rs. 2,88,282.75/ and
photocopy of bill of Rs. 2,34,968/ have been filed. Original bills of the same
have not been filed and the bills also show that the amount were settled. They
are thus on the account of medical reimbursement under medi claim policy
which are thus excluded from the medical expenses. Accordingly, only the
amount of original bills paid by petitioner of Rs. 7,75,552.30// (rounded to
Rs. 7,75,600/) being connected with the treatment of the injuries received in
the accident in question are allowed. Total Rs. 7,75,600/.
