Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's orders Coram: D.D.Sinha & A. P. Bhangale, JJ. Date : 22/04/2009. Heard Mr. P. D. Meghe, Adv. for petitioner, Mr.S.K.Majid, Adv. for Respondent Nos. 1 and 2 and Mr.Khubalkar, Assistant Government Pleader for Respondent No.3. This petition is directed against the communication dt. 29.11.2008 issued by the District Health Officer, Zilla Parishad, Nagpur whereby petitioner is informed that she was suspended on 6.6.2005 and during the period of suspension, she is not entitled for medical bill reimbursement. It is brought to the notice of this Court that Rule 66 of the Maharashtra Civil Services (Joining Time, Foreign Service and Payments during Suspension, Dismissal and Removal) Rules, 1981 is not attracted in the case of petitioner. Counsel for Respondent No.1/Zilla Parishad does not dispute that Rule 66 is not attracted in the present case. 224wp526.09.sxw 2 . In the backdrop of the above referred facts, it is apparent that the impugned communication issued by the District Health Officer suffers from complete non-application of mind. Hence, we hereby quash and set aside the impugned communication and remand the matter back to the District Health Officer to consider the case of petitioner for reimbursement of medical bills on the facts of the case and take a decision in this regard in accordance with law within a period of fifteen days from the date of communication of this order. Similarly, we direct respondent/Zilla Parishad to take a decision in respect of pension and pensionary benefits, if any, due and payable to the petitioner in accordance with law, if there is no legal impediment in doing so, within a period of four weeks. With these observations and directions, the petition is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE jais
