The admitted position is that the contract is likely to over in three to four months time and a fresh decision will have to be taken for the next year in question. The Court must fairly record that the petitioner has an arguable case but for the reason above it is not interested in upsetting the arrangement at such a belated stage. This writ application stands disposed of with a direction upon the authority concerned that they shall ensure that - 2 - the proper settlement of the next contract is made in terms of the advertisement which might be required to be issued after expiry of the present contract. This writ application stands disposed of with the above direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
