3. The case of the petitioner, in brief, is that the petitioner’s firm participated in an e-tender issued on 28.11.2025 by the 3rd respondent for the collection of human hair for the period from 01.01.2026 to 31.12.2027 and the petitioner had emerged as the highest bidder. The petitioner’s bid was confirmed, and an agreement was executed on 23.12.2025 upon payment of all the required deposits. Thereafter, the petitioner commenced operations on 01.01.2026. However, based on a memo dated 03.01.2026 issued by the 2nd respondent, the 3rd respondent cancelled the petitioner’s licence on 08.01.2026 without issuing any prior notice and refunded the deposits. Subsequently, fresh tenders were issued repeatedly, culminating in the 4th call dated 20.01.2026. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner approached this Court by filing the present petition, seeking to set aside the cancellation and to permit continuation of the licence rights.

4. PERUSED THE RECORD.
