"Whenever the representative of Parvathiammal intimates the Indian High Commission at Colombo that she is willing to undergo treatment in India, the respondents (Centre) are directed to allow her to undergo the treatment", a division bench, comprising Justices Elipe Dharma Rao and S S Sasidharan said.
The bench gave the order on a petition filed by Parvathiammal, seeking a direction to the Centre to allow her to come to India for treatment and to bear the cost.
The External Affairs Ministry in a counter affidavit had said Parvathiammal had decided to defer her visit to India "for the time being".
