The Central Administrative Tribunal by order dated 19 August 2002 allowed the original application filed by the second respondent and directed the petitioners to reimburse the medical claim preferred by him within a period of eight weeks. Though the writ petition was filed in the year 2003, effective steps were not taken by the petitioners to serve notice on the second respondent.
2. There is no question of considering the legality and correctness of the order passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal on 19 August 2002 after a period of 16 years. The issue in question relates to reimbursement of medical expenses incurred by a Government servant. We are of the view that there is no need to keep this writ petition pending, without effecting service on the second respondent. The writ petition is liable to be dismissed for non-prosecution in spite of directing the petitioners to take notice.
3. The Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
