Case Summary: State of Punjab v. Ram Lubhaya Bagga (C.A. 001113/1998) The Supreme Court upheld Punjab's new medical reimbursement policy (February 13, 1995) limiting reimbursement to AIIMS rates for private hospital treatment, finding it constitutional despite financial constraints. While recognizing healthcare as fundamental under Article 21, the court held that no right is absolute in a welfare state and reasonable budgetary restrictions are permissible.
