State Of Rajasthan vs Mahesh Kumar Sharma

The Supreme Court held that Rule 6 of the Rajasthan Civil Services (Medical Attendance) Rules, 1970 applies to government employees seeking medical treatment outside Rajasthan, entitling them to reimbursement for medical expenses incurred. The Court clarified that Rule 7 pertains to situations where treatment is unavailable in Rajasthan, which was not applicable in this case as heart surgery is available in the state. The appeal by the State of Rajasthan was dismissed, upholding the lower court's decision to grant full reimbursement to the respondent.
