No. 21622 of 2010 Date of Decision 06.12.2010 Union of India and others -----Petitioners Versus Central Administrative Tribunal and others ---Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI Present: Mr. Rajiv Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. 1. The Union of India has filed the instant petition under Article 226 of the Constitution with a prayer for quashing order dated 29.09.2009 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench (for brevity 'the Tribunal'). The Tribunal has held that the original applicant-respondents are entitled to facilities of the Central Government Health Scheme on usual payment of subscription fee at par with other Central Government pensioners for one year, which is extendable on yearly basis. In that regard Tribunal has followed the earlier decisions rendered in OA Nos. 955/CH/2003, 217/HR/2004 and 833/CH/2005. 2. When we ask Mr. Rajiv Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioners to point out any distinguishing feature between the view C.W.P. No. 21622 of 2010 -2- taken by the Tribunal earlier and the one taken in the impugned order and as to whether those orders have attained finality or not. The answer obviously is that those orders have attained finality and either such orders have not been challenged further or the writ petitions challenging such orders have been dismissed. 3. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners, we are of the view that no interference is called for in the order passed by the Tribunal. Moreover, the relief has been granted only for a period of one year extendable on yearly basis till outcome of the writ petition pending in the High Court of Karnataka. Accordingly, we do not find any ground to admit the writ petition. 4. As a sequel to the above discussions, the writ petition fails and the same is dismissed. (M.M.
