` CWP-17738-2025 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH 115 CWP-17738-2025 Date of Decision: 02.07.2025 Satya Parkash and others …Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others …Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JAGMOHAN BANSAL Present: - Mr. Parveen Gupta, Advocate for the petitioners Mr. Raman Sharma, Additional Advocate General, Haryana *** JAGMOHAN BANSAL, J. (Oral) 1. The petitioners through instant petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India are seeking direction to respondents to provide medical facilities to the retired employees. 2. The petitioners are retired employees of Mahendragarh Central Co-operative Bank Limited, Mahendragarh. They are claiming that they should be extended benefit of reimbursement of medical bills. They served notice upon the respondent claiming reimbursement of medical bills. The respondent in its reply rejected claim of the petitioners on the grounds that respondent is a society and governed by Haryana State Central Co-operative Bank’s Staff Service (Common Cadre) Rules, 1975 (for short ‘1975 Rules’) and there is no provision mandating the society to reimburse medical expenses of retired employees. MOHIT KUMAR 2025.07.02 16:27 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this order/judgement. ` CWP-17738-2025 -2- 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that as per Rule 20 of 1975 Rules, medical reimbursement rules shall be as prescribed by the Registrar from time to time. The Registrar, in the case of the petitioners, has not prescribed Rules, thus, respondent-society should adopt Rules as applicable to other societies as well as State Government employees. 4. Rule 20 of 1975 Rules reads as: - “20. Medical Re-imbursement Rules.- Medical re-imbursement rules shall be as prescribed by the Registrar from time to time.” 5. This Court finds no substance in the contention of the petitioners. Unless and until, Rules are framed by Registrar, the petitioners cannot claim reimbursement of medical bills. They were supposed to approach Registrar instead of this Court for redressal of their grievance. Accordingly, the present petition stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to approach, Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Haryana.
