Case Overview
- Case No.: WPMS/1673/2021
- Petitioner: Rao Raghubir Singh Sewa Samiti
- Respondent: State of Uttarakhand
- Presiding Judge: Hon'ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J.
- Background: The Directorate of Women Empowerment and Child Development, Uttarakhand issued an e‑tender on 8 April 2021 inviting bids for the supply of Micronutrient Fortified Energy Dense Food Supplements to beneficiaries at Anganwadi Centres.
- Contract Details: The tender stipulated a supply contract for a period of three years, which consequently expired in 2024.
- State Counsel Submission: Counsel for the State highlighted that, because the contractual period had ended in 2024, any relief sought by the petitioner could not survive.
- Court Findings: The Court found merit in the State counsel’s submission, noting that the contract’s three‑year term had indeed concluded in 2024, rendering the petitioner’s claim untenable.
Final Outcome
- The writ petition is dismissed as infructuous; no relief is granted to the petitioner.
