According to the petitioner, in 2001, when he was working at the Coyalmannam Block Office, he suffered chest pain, and ultimately which was diagnosed as Coronary Artery Disease. Finally, he had to undergo Angiogram and bye-pass surgery in the Kovai Medical Centre Hospital, Coimbatore. 2.

The case was adjourned for the instruction of the learned WP(C) No.28474/2009 -2- Government Pleader, who, on instructions, submits that despite the best efforts, the records could not be traced out in the Office of the 1st respondent.

If as stated by the learned Government Pleader, the records are misplaced, the only option available is that the petitioner should submit copies thereof once again. Therefore, I dispose of the writ petition with the following directions:- That it will be open to the petitioner to submit copies of the medical bills and other records directly to the 1st respondent, and if the copies are received from the petitioner as above along with a copy of this judgment, the 1st respondent shall process the same and pass final orders in the matter.
