The decision has been taken in pursuance to a direction issued by a Division Bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, comprising Chief Justice Tirath Singh Thakur and Justice Surya Kant on September 22.
The directions were issued in the wake of a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Advocate H C Arora, where he had sought directions to the UT Administration to frame a scheme, within two months, for free treatment of freedom fighters in various UT hospitals.
