KANTHA RAO WRIT PETITION NO. 20299 OF 2008 ORAL ORDER : ( Per Sri Justice B Prakash Rao) Heard Mr. O Manohar Reddy, learned counsel for petitioner and Smt M.Bhaskar Laxmi, learned standing counsel for respondent and at their request the main writ petition is taken up for disposal. The petitioner herein who is holding the contract licence for the purpose of carrying out manual house keeping (cleaning) in the entire high court premises and A.P. Judicial Academy, sought to assail the impugned notice dated 10.9.2008 issued by the respondent terminating his housing keeping maintenance contract w.e.f. 16.9.2008. It is the case of the respondent that having regard to the failure of the petitioner herein in keeping up both the premises in its entirety, such a course has to be taken. The case of the petitioner is that of denial and further that such an action is totally violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Counter affidavit was filed by the respondent herein stating that in spite of such a contract and terms contained therein, both the premises i.e., High Court of A.P. and A.P. Judicial Academy, were not kept clean and the toilets are emitting bad smell and petitioner though informed on various occasions, nor there is any correction on his part and the premises continue to be remain in bad condition, as such his contract was terminated. Further subsequent to such termination, the house keeping contract was already awarded to another agency viz., M/s.Geetha Services, which commenced the work of house keeping w.e.f. 16.9.2008, hence, no relief as sought for need be given. Having heard the counsel and especially in view of such disputed facts and the speciﬁc allegations made against the petitioner, this Court would not venture to go into the correctness of the same in exercise of powers under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Be that as it may, the fact remains, it is only on such complaints of not keeping the premises clean, the contract of the petitioner was terminated and further fresh contract has already been awarded and new agency has already commenced the work. Hence, we do not ﬁnd any justiﬁcation in the claim made by the petitioner nor the petitioner has any enforceable right to seek such a relief. There are no merits in the writ petition. Accordingly, the same is dismissed. No costs. _______________ B.PRAKASH RAO,J ______________ R.KANTHA RAO,J DATE: 22.10.2008 TVK THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO and THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.
