IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2855 of 2009 RABINDRA KUMAR & ANR Versus THE UNION OF INDIA & ORS For the petitioners : M/S Shashi Shekhar Sanjay Kumar For Union of India : Mr. Sharvadeo Singh, C.G.G. ----------- 5. 14.05.2009 The petitioner is a Constable in C.R.P.F. He is suffering from cancer and is undergoing treatment. He requires fund for the same and seeks assistance of his employer to the extent permissible under the Service Rules. He also raised the issue with regard to certain arrears of salary for his hard times. On 2.4.2009 this Court had observed as follows : “…….The submission of the counsel for the respondents that it may require information from more than one location where the petitioner may have been posted, does not impress the Court in the modern age where facilities of FAX and internet are available. The paramilitary having its own wireless set up and even hotlines, the time frame prayed for is considered wholly inappropriate by this Court.” On 21.4.2009 again prayer was made for adjournment by the Respondents, when this Court while granting adjournment for three weeks indicated that no further adjournment shall be granted and the matter shall be disposed off. Today learned counsel for the Respondents submits that claims of the petitioner are under examination. The urgency of the matter for the petitioner seems to 2 be of no concern to the Respondents. The fact is that in a serious disease like cancer, which has its own urgency, the Respondents refuse to wake up from their slumber. This Court is satisfied that the situation has now arisen when it has become necessary for this Court to issue direction to the Director General of Police, CRPF at Delhi to examine the issue with regard to the entitlement for medical reimbursement under the Service Rules as also his claim for arrears of salary. When the Subordinate Officers have failed to even respond to the orders of the Court appropriately and in time, this Court is left with little option in the matter. Let the petitioner produce a copy of the present order before the Director General of Police, CRPF. This Court expects that he shall pass all necessary orders within a maximum period of six weeks from the date of receipt and/production of a copy of this order so that the financial entitlement of the petitioner, whether it be for reimbursement for medical expenses or for arrears of salary is actually made available to the petitioner within the same period of six weeks. The writ application stands disposed. Let a copy of this order be also sent by the Court to the Director General of Police, CRPF, New Delhi, considering that the issue involves the humane aspect of a human life. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
