CWP No. 5645 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CWP No. 5645 of 2009 Date of decision 29 .3.2010 Union of India and others ... Petitioners Versus Dharam Paul Gupta and another ... Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr. Heman Aggarwal ,Advocate for the petitioners Mr. Vipin Mahajan, Advocate for the respondents. 1.To be referred to the Reporter or not ? 2.Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? M.M.KUMAR, J. The Union of India has approached this Court challenging order dated 11.8.2008 (P.4) and further order dismissing Review Application No.14 of 2009 passed on 20.3.2009 dismissing Review Application No.14 of 2009 (P.6) passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Chandigarh (for brevity 'the Tribunal'). The Tribunal has issued direction to the petitioners to consider the claim of the applicant- respondents for medical reimbursement in light of the instructions dated 5.6.1998 issued by the Government of India OM and also the judgements referred to in the order dated 11.8.2008 of the Tribunal. The needful was required to be done within a period of three months from the date of order i.e. by 11.8.2008. The only argument raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that a similar matter is pending before Hon'ble the Supreme Court where stay order has been issued and the same has important bearing CWP No. 5645 of 2009 2 on the issue raised in the instant petition. However, we find no merit in the aforesaid argument because mere pendency of SLP before Hon'ble the Supreme Court would not constitute a valid ground either for admission of the petition or to stay the judgement of the Tribunal. On merits, we find that the petitioners have been asked to consider the claim of the applicant- respondents in the light of the instructions dated 5.6.1998 and various judgements. The period of three months has also expired when the instant petition was filed on 15.4.2009. Accordingly, there is no merit in the petition. Dismissed.
