1.

This intra-court Appeal is filed being aggrieved  by the  Order  dated 27.02.2026(“Impugned Order”)passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.(C)  No.  2751/2026(“Writ  Petition”)seeking  extension  of  the  license period to operate the catering license awarded by the Respondents in favour of the Appellant.

2.

Vide the  Impugned Order the  learned  Single Judge has dismissed the Writ Petition relying upon the common Judgment and Order dated 26.02.2026 passed in W.P.(C)18000/2025 titled as ‘Vandana Mishra v. Union  of  India  &  Ors.’(“Vandana  Mishra”)and  other  connected  matters on  the  basis  that  the  facts  of  the Writ Petition  were pari  materia with  the facts in the writ petitions in Vandana Mishra batch of writ petitions.

3.

The Judgment and Order dated 26.02.2026 passed in Vandana Mishra batch of writ petitions was challenged in the batch of appeals being LPA Nos. 112/2026, 116/2026 and 122/2026 before this Court and vide common Judgment dated 20.03.2026, the said appeals have been dismissed.

4.

As  per  the facts of the present Appeal,  the Appellant entered  into a License Agreement with the Respondents on 02.03.2023 much after the COVID-19 pandemic was over, therefore, the Appellant is not entitled to claim parity with other cases relied upon by the Appellant.

5.

Accordingly, this Appeal is squarely covered by the Judgement passed in Vandana Mishra batch of appeals. Since the Impugned Order is based  on  the  Judgment  and  Order  dated  26.02.2026  issued  in  the  Vandana Mishra writ petitions, which has been affirmed in the Judgment in the Vandana Mishra batch of appeals, the current Appeal is also liable to be dismissed keeping in view the said Judgment.

6.

In view of the above, the present Appeal and the pending Applications stand dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs.
