OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Emergency treatment in CGHS empanelled Hospitals.
The extant instructions under CGHS provide that under emergency conditions, a CGHS beneficiary can get admission in any CGHS empanelled Hospital without any prior permission. It has, however, been brought to the notice that the Hospitals deny admission or insist on referral memo from CGHS Wellness Centre even in emergency conditions.
2. In accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement between the CGHS empanelled Hospital and the Government of India, refusal to provide treatment to bonafide CGHS beneficiaries in emergency cases and other eligible categories of beneficiaries on credit basis, without valid ground, would attract disqualification for continuation of empanelment.
3. It is, therefore, reiterated that in emergency the empanelled hospitals will not refuse admission or demand an advance payment from the CGHS beneficiary or his family member and will provide credit facilities to the patient.

I am directed to forward a copy of judgement dated 08.08.2019 in OA 170/12/2018 filed by Shri K Keshava Bhat Vs SSP Puttur Dn & Ors in Hon’ble CAT Bengaluru. The subject matter of the case is fixation of pay on re-employment of ex-servicemen in light of DoPT OMs 3/19/2009-Estt (pay-II) dated 05.04.2010 and I 10965,/2015.Estt (pay II) dated 28.08.2015.
2.(a) Case Details: The applicant, an ex-serviceman was appointed as postal assistant in initial pay Rs 9910 + GP 2400 in 05.04.2011. Then he represented for pay fixation, counting service in Army following annual increments and to permit for exercising option. SSP, Puttur (DK) Division rejected the representation and hence the OA
(b) Reliefs Sought: (i) To set aside the orders of SSP Puttur (DK). (ii) Consider his application for pay fixation on reemployment post following one increment each year of Military Service and providing for option, with arrears and consequential benefit, (iii) Grant relief or relief as deemed fit and proper, with costs while applying wrong rules, in the interest of justice and equality.
(c) Hon’ble Tribunals Judgement : OA was dismissed, on lack of merits, as the Hon’ble tribunal observed that the contention that the applicant wants his pay to be fixed as per para 16 of the CCS (Fixation of pay of Re-employed pensioners) 1986 dated 31.07.1986 but would like his entire pension and other retirement benefits to be untouched cannot be accepted.
It is further directed to defend all cases under your jurisdiction of such nature on this ground.
