Hi Srinidhi,
I think, when  Ref1 host pings it knows its MTU, ping with size of 1500 will
be fragmented from REF1 host itself, so there will not be any  "too big
message" at network2. But as the target  host MTU is 1500, it will try to
respond reply 1500 MTU size, that time Tar router will send a Too big
message to Network1.

Are you not seeing "too big messaage at Network1"?
What is the Tar router you are using?
If you share your network1 and network2 dump, i may dig bit more on this.

Regards,
Arul
