JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 2nd AUGUST, 2011 ORAL ORDER: 1. The petitioner - Society has approached this Court contending that the Fishing Contract executed in its favour has been cancelled before the expiry of its term. The petitioner contends that the Contract was for five years and, therefore, it could not have been cancelled without following the due process of law. 2. The respondent - State has filed an affidavit contending that the Contract was executed (2) wp5693-09 subject to result of an appeal preferred by the petitioner against respondent No. 5. That appeal has been dismissed and, therefore, the Contract has been awarded to respondent No. 5 and the petitioner's Contract has been cancelled. 3. In our opinion, these issues cannot be considered in a writ petition and it would be appropriate for the petitioner to file a Suit. The petition is dismissed as there are disputed questions of fact. 4. The interim relief granted to the petitioner will continue for a period of four weeks only. [M.T. JOSHI, J.] [SMT.
