1 D.B.Civil Special Appeal No.1190/08 Brij Raj Kundra & anr. V/s R.S.R.T.C. & anr. 21.7.2008 Hon'ble the Chief Justice Mr.Narayan Roy Hon'ble Mr.Justice Mohammad Rafiq Mr.V.S.Badhwar for the appellants. This appeal has been filed against the interim order dated 20.6.2008 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court whereby the second stay application filed by the petitioners-appellants in writ application no.5950/07 was dismissed. Learned counsel for the appellants while referring to clause 13 of general terms and conditions (Annex.4) on which the tenders were invited, has argued that the proposal for the award of contract was for three consecutive years, which on mutual consent of the parties could be further extended by giving hike of 10% in basic proposal price. He has further argued that the learned Single Judge of this Court by order dated 5th Sept.2007 passed on first stay application, stayed the operation of order dated 22nd June, 2007 cancelling the license of the appellants- petitioners and during the pendency of writ petition, the respondents could not thereafter terminate the contract frustrating that order. Upon hearing learned counsel for the appellants and perusing the documents forming part of the record, we find that operation of the order dated 22.6.2007 was stayed by this Court because the validity period of the license then granted to 2 the petitioners had still not expired. The order dated 22nd June, 2007 itself reveals that the license granted to the petitioners was valid from 1.5.2007 to 30.4.2008. Subsequent orders dated 8th, 9th and 24th May, 2008 clearly show that it was the request of the appellants-petitioners for renewal of the license, which was turned down. No material has been shown by learned counsel for the appellants as to whether the license was renewed beyond 30th April, 2008. The learned Single Judge taking note of this aspect, in our view, rightly declined to pass any interim stay order on second stay application. We do not find any illegality or infirmity in the impugned order. This appeal is accordingly dismissed. (Mohammad Rafiq)J. (Narayan Roy)C.J. Parmar
