THE DIRECTOR IN CHIEF , STATE HEALTH SOCIETY PARIWAR KALYAN BHAWAN, SHEIKHPURA, PATNA ----------- 2 12.1.2011 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State, this Court fails to understand that under what mechanism this Court can direct renewal of a contract which has already expired as these petitioners were appointed on contract basis on the post of doctor in various Primary Health Center. Petitioners do not have a right for renewal of contract as a matter of course because contract is an issue which has to be decided between the parties and the Court can only intervene in the matter if some kind of arbitrariness is established. Renewal or not renewal is an issue which cannot be adjudicated under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Petitioners have civil remedy, if they are so advised. This writ application is dismissed with the above observation. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
