OM PARKASH GARGI vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition challenging the High Court's order which denied interest on delayed reimbursement of medical expenses under the principle that reimbursement does not inherently include interest for delay. The Court held that the petitioner has no right to claim interest on the reimbursement amount, emphasizing that the State's obligation is limited to reimbursement itself. The Court found it inappropriate to direct the State to pay interest due to the need for verification of amounts spent by the petitioner and others in similar situations.
