( 1 ) THIS appeal is directed against the order dated 30th August, 2007 passed by the learned Single Judge allowing the writ petition filed by the respondent with further direction that respondents-appellant shall make the payment of Rs. 4,19,639/- towards medical expenses incurred by the petitioner-respondent. ( 2 ) THE appellant was an employee of the Metal Minerals Trading Corporation ltd. (MMTC Ltd. ). He took voluntary retirement from the service of the appellant in 1993, when he also joined the medical scheme propounded by the appellant. He paid subscription and he was made a member. A membership card valid till March, 2016 was issued. Subsequently, however, the respondent did not pay annual subscription of Rs. 50/- per annum. He, thereafter, moved an application for payment of the annual subscription on the basis of which the following endorsement was made:- "renewed with approval of DP from April, 94 to March 2006, vide cheque no. 928155 dated 21. 3. 2005, Rs. 600/-" ( 3 ) THE said amount was paid. Taking into account the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the learned Single Judge allowed the claim of the respondent on the ground that by virtue of the aforesaid payment the respondent has become entitled to all medical reimbursements in terms of the scheme propounded by the appellant. The payment was made towards entire arrears of annual subscription from 1994 till March, 2005. In terms of the aforesaid findings recorded, the learned Single Judge directed the appellant to make payment of Rs. 4,19,639/-towards medical expenses incurred by the respondent-petitioner. ( 4 ) COUNSEL appearing for the appellant has challenged the aforesaid findings contending, inter alia, that the membership of the respondent had expired and he did not renew the membership, therefore, he is not entitled to any medical reimbursement in terms of the scheme. Learned counsel for the appellant has also drawn our attention to the letter dated 21. 3. 2005 and the letter which is annexed as annexure A-4 in support of his contention that it is an admitted case that the respondent did not renew his membership for getting medical facilities under the scheme. ( 5 ) WE have perused the said application also. It is true that the respondent did not renew his membership for some time but it is brought to our notice that the membership fee was only a meagre sum of Rs. ( 5 ) WE have perused the said application also. It is true that the respondent did not renew his membership for some time but it is brought to our notice that the membership fee was only a meagre sum of Rs. 50 per annum which is a sort of a symbolic payment and the same has no relevance or bearing on the cost which an employee may incur towards his medical expenses. In view of the acceptance of Annexure A-4 for renewal of his membership by payment of arrears of Rs. 50/- per annum, the respondent"s default was condoned and his membership under the scheme for the period April, 1994 to March, 2005 stood restored. He had suffered a heart attack on 13. 3. 2005 and has undergone an angioplasty for which the aforesaid claim is made. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also the fact that by virtue of renewal/restoration of his membership by the appellant, the respondent was entitled to the medical reimbursement to the extent of the claim made in terms of the medical scheme of the appellant, we do not find any merit in this appeal which is dismissed accordingly. ( 6 ) AT this stage, counsel appearing for the appellant states that he may be given extension of time for making payment of the aforesaid amount. Three weeks time is granted to the appellant for making payment in terms of the request made before us.
