JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI Present: Mr. Gurpartap Singh Advocate for the petitioner. Ms.Anjali Kukkar, Advocate for the respondents. * * * Permod Kohli, J.(Oral) Civil Misc.Nos.12235-36 of 2010 Heard. For the reasons recorded in the applications, the same are allowed. Review Application No.217 of 2010 This review/modification petition has been preferred on behalf of Union of India seeking review/modification of the judgment dated 10.11.2009 passed by this court in CWP No.18327 of 2008. Vide the impugned judgment, direction was issued to the respondents to reimburse the medical expenses incurred by the petitioner during his treatment in Fortis Hospital, Mohali equal to the rates of A.I.I.M.S., New Delhi within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Admittedly, this judgment has not been complied with. It is contended that the petitioner was an employee of Border Road Organisation (respondent No.2) and is not member of Central Government Health Scheme thus, the reimbursement has to be made by respondent No.2 whereas, directions were issued to both the respondents. The petitioner has relied upon the judgment of this court dated 22.01.2007 passed in CWP No.981 CAT/2007 titled as Union of India and another Vs. Secretary Ministry (2) of Health and Family Welfare New Delhi and Others whereby, this court had clarified that the responsibility to reimburse the medical claim is upon the concerned department, who was also one of the party in the aforesaid writ petition. Based on some observations made in the aforesaid judgment, it is argued on behalf of the Union of India that the judgment needs clarification. One fails to understand the approach of the Union of India in such matters. Admittedly, Border Road Organisation is a department of the Union of India. Under the judgment impunged directions were issued to both the respondents to reimburse the medical claim. The Union of India instread of issuing appropriate directions to Border Road Organisation to comply with the judgment, has unnecessarily filed this petitiion seeking modication/ clarification. In any case, the petitioner is suffering because of the uncalled for approach of the functionaries of Union of India. In view of the above observations, it is directed that respondent No.2 shall reimburse the medical claim to the petitioner within a period of three months along with interest in terms of the judgment dated 10.11.2009 failing which, this matter shall be placed before the Bench for initiating contempt proceedings against the defaulting official.
