Order
1. Heard on the stay application.
2. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioners is that the petitioners are working on various posts sponsored through the Medical Relief Society, which is a manpower supplying society. By the impugned termination order dated 06.03.2026 (Annexure- 5), the services of the petitioners were sought to be discontinued on the ground that the term of the Society, through which they were sponsored, has expired and the respondents want to proceed with the bidding process to select a new manpower agency.
3. The apprehension of the petitioners is that if a new manpower agency is selected in place of the existing Society in the bidding process, the services of the petitioners may not be sponsored by the new entity, thereby depriving them of continuation of their service.
4. This Court feels that the petitioners have sufficient experience by virtue of their long-standing work and if the Society under which the petitioners were sponsored is changed and a new entity is selected in place of the Society, the petitioners' candidature should be sponsored through the new entity instead of engaging fresh candidates, which will also be advantageous to the respondent Department.
5. In view of the above, the respondents are directed to continue to obtain the services of the petitioners, in the event a new entity is enlisted for sponsoring the manpower to work for the respondents and their services shall be sponsored through the new entity during the pendency of this writ petition.
6. Issue notice to the respondents, returnable within a period of four weeks.
7. List the matter on 02.07.2026
