Respondents ----- CORAM HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR ----- For the Petitioner: None For the State: Mr. Vibhor Mayank, A.C. to A.G. ----- 08/22.06.2026 1. None for the petitioner. 2. Mr. Vibhor Mayank, learned A.C. to A.G., appears for the State. 3. This writ petition challenges Memo No. 777 dated 15.04.2021 cancelling MoU dated 31.03.2021 with the petitioner for supply of human resources on outsourcing basis. 4. Mr. Vibhor Mayank submits that the contractual period was only for one year with a renewal clause. 5. There was no interim relief granted in this matter and pursuant to the cancellation order dated 15.04.2021, the same work was awarded to the respondent No. 6. By now, the term of the contract must have expired. In any event, at this advanced stage, it would be difficult to put the clock back and award the work to the petitioner assuming that it makes out any case for award of the 2026:JHHC:18176-DB 2 same. That is possibly the reason why the petitioner is not having much interest in pursuing this writ petition. 6. Accordingly, we dispose of the present writ petition, but with liberty to the petitioner to explore the possibility of filing a civil suit seeking damages etc. However, we clarify that we have not examined the merits of the matter and therefore all contentions of the parties are left open. 7. The present writ petition is accordingly disposed of with liberty in the above terms without any order for costs. (M. S. SONAK, C.J.) (RAJESH SHANKAR, J.) 22.06.2026 Satish/Vikas/
