110011. ----Appellants Versus Sarafa Traders Committee, Jaipur through Its President Kailash Mittal, having its Registered Office at 169, Mehendi ka Chowk, Ramganj Bazaar, Jaipur- 302003 (Raj.) ----Respondent For Appellant(s) : Mr. Bharat Vyas, ASG (Sr. Adv.) assisted by Ms. Anima Chaturvedi and Mr. Alok Garg For Respondent(s) : Mr. Swadeep Singh Hora with Mr. Himanshu Agarwal and Mr. Arpit Gupta HON'BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE MR. SANJEEV PRAKASH SHARMA HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SHUBHA MEHTA Order 06/03/2026
1. The present appeal has been preferred against the order passed by the learned Single Judge dated 16.02.2026 whereby while hearing the case at length and finding that there is paucity of time, passed an interim order to the extent of restraining the appellants from finalizing the bid process initiated in furtherance of public notice dated 29.10.2025 and 23.01.2026 and at the
[2026:RJ-JP:9567-DB] (2 of 2) [SAW-186/2026] same time allowed the appellants to proceed with allocation as per the policy existing prior to impugned notices. Learned ASG submits that the order virtually amounts to granting final relief to the respondent writ petitioner.
2. We are afraid that we do not concur with the submissions made as we find that the directions to the appellants is only giving them an option that they may proceed with the allocation if they so want to. However, there is no positive direction in favour of the petitioner. At the same time, so far as putting the bid process in abeyance is concerned, the same also does not create any right in favour of the petitioner nor does it take away any right of the concerned auctioner-participants. We, therefore, do not find any reason to entertain the present appeal at this interlocutory stage and expect both the parties argue their case before the learned Single Judge as we are told that the case is already listed today.
3. With the said observations, the instant appeal is dismissed.
4. All pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
