Hon’ble Shri Justice Amitendra Kishore Prasad Order on Board 16/09/2026

1. Heard.

2. This writ petition has been preferred by the petitioner under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, seeking following reliefs:- “10.1 That, this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to call the record of case from the respondent authorities. 10.2 That, this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to issue an appropriate writ, thereby quashing/setting aside the impugned DEEPTI JHA Digitally signed by DEEPTI JHA

advertisement dated 31.08.2026 (Annexure-P/1) and further be pleased to direct the respondent authorities to allow the petitioner to supply hot meal for the allotted Anganbadi Centres of Sectors namely Gondahur, Bande, Korenar and Panawar. 10.3 That, any other relief/order which may deem fit and just in the facts and circumstances of the case including award of the cost of the petition may be given.”

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the supplier of the hot meal to the Anganbadi Centres of Sectors namely Gondahur, Bande, Korenar and Panawar. He further submits that there is no adverse order has been passed against the petitioner, but he is aggrieved with the advertisement dated 31.08.2026 (Annexure-P/1) stating that perhaps the respondent authorities would cancel his supply order. Hence, this writ petition has been filed.

4. Learned State counsel submits that instant writ petition is premature. She further submits that petitioner is still supplying the hot meal to the Anganbadi Centres of Sectors namely Gondahur, Bande, Korenar and Panawar and petitioner may also participate in the said advertisement and there is no any embargo in participating the advertisement for supplying of hot meal. She also submits that till date no adverse order has been passed against the petitioner, neither the supply of the hot meal supplied by him has been stopped, therefore, no order can be passed, for which, the petitioner is claiming by way of this writ petition. The advertisement was issued on 31.08.2026, which cannot be cancelled only on the basis of petitioner’s presumptions. Hence, the instant writ petition deserves to be dismissed.

5. From perusal of the material available on record and also when the said fact enquired about the petitioner’s counsel that whether petitioner is still supplying the hot meal regularly to the concerned Anganbadi Centres or not, then he submits that petitioner is still supplying the hot meal regularly to the concerned Anganbadi Centres and there is no adverse order has been passed against him.

6. Considering the aforesaid aspect of the matter, it appears that there is no good or valid grounds available to quash the advertisement dated 31.08.2026 (Annexure-P/1) and also considering the fact that petitioner is still supplying the hot meal to the concerned Anganbadi Centres and there is no adverse order has been passed against the petitioner, hence the instant writ petition deserves to be and is hereby dismissed. However, petitioner is at liberty to approach before this Court, if any, exigency arises.

7. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the instant writ petition stands disposed of.

8. Interlocutory application(s), pending if any, also stands disposed of. Sd/-
