Chandigarh, April 13 Ramneek submitted to the forum that he took a medical claim insurance policy from United Insurance Company Limited covering his family members. He, along with his wife Anu Sood, went to Chennai where his wife developed certain irritation in her eyes. The couple visited the Sankara Nethralaya. She had a problem of retino blastoma in her right eye. She was admitted to the hospital thrice for five to six days each and spent a total of Rs 1,06,017 on her treatment. The bills were, subsequently, submitted to the insurance company, along with the certificate from the treating doctor/hospital, but the claim was rejected. The company opposed the complaint on the ground that the wife of the complainant was suffering from the disease before taking the policy. Dr Roli Aggarwal, who is regional manager of Med Save Healthcare, claimed that the investigation conducted by his branch manager at Chennai revealed that Anu visited Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai, for the first time in 2007 and was diagnosed with the disease and had undergone the doses of chemotherapy before taking the policy. After coming from Chennai, the present policy was taken by the complainant, who thereafter again went back for the treatment. In his reply, Ramneek admitted that he, along with his family members, had visited the said hospital for a normal routine check-up because of their stay at Chennai. He, however, deposed that in order to avoid the controversy, he does not want to pursue the present complaint. “When the complainant found that the reply would come from the hospital and falsehood upon which he has based his complaint would be exposed, he opted to withdraw this complaint. In our opinion it is a fit case in which the complainant should be prosecuted for concealing evidence,” read the order passed by the forum comprising Jagroop Singh Mahal as president and Rajinder Singh Gill as a member.

Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, April 13 He sought the quashing of his removal order on the ground of it being illegal, arbitrary and against the law. Taking up his petition, the vacation Bench of Justice Augustine George Masih issued notice of motion for April 15 to the state of Punjab and the department of local bodies. The respondents have been asked to file their reply on Rana’s removal. The petition comes less than a week after Rana was removed from the post for alleged misuse of power. The orders were issued by principal secretary to Punjab local bodies department on a case dating back to 2007. In his petition, Rana contended that his removal was pre-planned, evident from the fact the orders of his expulsion were made on Friday evening so that he could not approach the High Court due to the weekend ahead. The malafide intention of the state government in removing him was further evident, as the election schedule of the MC was also released immediately after his removal. The special meeting of MC House has been called at Municipal Bhawan in Sector 68 to conduct the election for the three civic posts on Thursday at 10 am. A notice for the meeting has been sent to all 30 elected municipal councillors and local MLA Balbir Sidhu - ex-officio member having voting right in the MC.

High court directive to decongest Gurgaon Chandigarh, April 13 The directions came on a petition seeking initiating contempt of court proceedings against the powers that failed to implement court directions issued earlier on smooth flow of the traffic. The high court has zeroed in on Gurgaon in Haryana and Amritsar in Punjab as test cities for keeping an eye on the efficacy of directions issued by it for regulating traffic. As the case came up for hearing, Justice Rajive Bhalla took note of the fact that the authorities concerned in Gurgaon had not done much beyond issuing challans to the traffic violators and directed the DC “to ensure the vehicles are parked in the earmarked parking, whether within or outside public and private buildings, markets, malls and offices”. Justice Bhalla also asked the Haryana Urban Development Authority administrator and the Municipal Corporation Commissioner “to file a response setting out the parking space available in Gurgaon”. In his detailed order, Justice Bhalla observed: “A perusal of the report on behalf of Kulvinder Singh, HPS, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Gurgaon, discloses that some steps are being taken to comply with the orders passed by the court. “However, apart from challans, no effort appears to have been made to regulate traffic, as counsel for the petitioner submits that there is absolute chaos on the roads of Gurgaon. A further perusal of the reply discloses that the administrator, HUDA, and the municipal corporation, Gurgaon, have been approached to provide parking spaces in the markets and public places. “Counsel for Haryana submits that in addition to the government offices, Gurgaon contains many private markets, malls, cinema halls, offices etc., which should be directed to ensure that the vehicles are parked within their premises or in the earmarked parking areas”. “The DC, Gurgaon, may if necessary demarcate a part of any road for the parking of vehicles as a temporary measure”. The case will now come up on April 20 for further hearing.
