I.A. No.7580 of 2011 has been filed with a prayer for deleting the name of the sole petitioner, who is stated to have died during the pendency of the writ petition on 10.10.2011, for which learned counsel for the petitioner produces in Court a copy of the death certificate issued by the Sub-Registrar, Registrar of Birth & Death, Municipal Corporation of Delhi, Civil Lines, and for substituting the name of her heir in her place. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the applicant, Vishal Kumar Sinha, who claims to be substituted in place of his mother, the original 2 petitioner, is the only son and child of his deceased mother whose husband had predeceased her. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the name of the sole petitioner, Nilu Sinha, is directed to be deleted and in her place the name of the applicant, Vishal Kumar Sinha, is directed to be substituted. I.A. No.7580 of 2011 is, accordingly, disposed of. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that despite voluminous documents having been supplied by the petitioner regarding her treatment at various places, including in AIIMS, New Delhi and Batra Hospital & Medical Research Centre, New Delhi, the authorities have not yet released the medical reimbursement claimed by the original petitioner, who died during the pendency of the writ application. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, submits that by letter dated 28.6.2011, the petitioner was required to supply the original copies of the prescriptions/discharge summary with respect to her treatment at PMCH, AIIMS, New Delhi and Batra Hospital & Medical Research Centre, New Delhi for the different 3 periods but the same, apart from certain other documents, have not yet been supplied and for the said reason the reimbursement could not be made. The stand of the petitioner in the reply to the counter affidavit is that all the necessary documents were supplied by the petitioner, which were enclosed with the application. In the aforesaid circumstances, this Court is of the view that the matter can best be looked into by the Departmental Authorities. Let the petitioner appear before the Principal Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Government of Bihar along with a copy of this order as also the documents sought for in the above mentioned letter and the Principal Secretary shall consider and dispose of the claims of the petitioner by a speaking order within a period of two months from the date of appearance and filing of the documents and whatever amount is found due and payable to the petitioner, the same shall also be paid to him within a further period of two months thereafter. The writ application is accordingly disposed of. VPS ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J.) 4
