We have perused the judgment and order under appeal passed by the writ court which takes note of all the - 2 - submissions advanced on behalf of the appellant and has given cogent reasons for rejecting those contentions. The writ court has correctly indicated the limitations in exercise of writ jurisdiction in respect of contractual matters where the concerned authorities must be left free to decide the suitability of applicants for the purpose of award of contract or agreement. In the facts of the case, we find no merit in the appeal. The appeal is accordingly dismissed. Vikash/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Anjana Prakash, J.)
