CGHS Emergency Treatment | Right to Health Overrides Technical Rate Caps : Madras HC Directs Full Reimbursement via Technical Committee

The court mandated referral of such claims to the Technical Standing Committee, rejecting mechanical denial and affirming the primacy of the right to health under Article 21 over procedural compliance.
