Case History
Case Summary Court's Decision: The Supreme Court held that while the right to medical aid is a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution, the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) 2002 is constitutional and legal. However, the Court directed the government to waive contribution fees for ex-servicemen who retired before January 1, 1996 and wish to join the scheme, recognizing their extraordinary service to the nation.
