# Delhi HC issues contempt notice over unpaid ₹12,000 medical aid to student 2026-08-13T06:54:49+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Delhi High Court has sought a response from the Delhi chief secretary in a contempt petition alleging non-payment of ₹12,000 in medical reimbursement to a Class III student of a municipal school. Justice Mini Pushkarna issued notice on a plea by Aditya Kumar, who fractured his left arm while playing at Nigam Pratibha Vidyalaya on April 1, 2024. The court had directed reimbursement on March 11, 2026, after noting that two government hospitals, Dr Hedgewar Aarogya Sansthan and Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya, did not provide treatment, forcing the family to go to a private hospital. The two-month deadline has passed, and the amount remains unpaid. The matter is listed for further hearing on September 10, 2026. ## Coverage - news.abplive.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
