💨 Abstract

The Jharkhand High Court has ruled that there should be no discrimination between physical and mental illness in terms of treatment benefits. The court ordered Coal India's subsidiary, Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), to reimburse psychiatric treatment expenses for the wife of a retired employee, Santosh Kumar Verma, whose claim was earlier denied by BCCL.
