The petitioner challenges the termination of contract vide order dated 18th January, 2017.

damages on account of wrongful termination of contract.

¶12

Be that as it may, the Court has protected the petitioner by an order dated 25th January, 2017 by granting an order of status quo. The order of status quo is continued till today, i.e., 29th March, 2017. The contract is likely to end after a period of forty-eight hours, i. e. on 31st March, 2017. We would not like to upset the position which has continued from 27th January, 2017 till 28th March, 2017, only for a period of forty-eight hours.

¶13

Therefore, normally, though we would not have entertained the request for interim order of stay of termination of contract, on account of a long-standing position which has continued from 25th January, 2017 till today, we continue the status quo till the midnight of 31st March, 2017. The order of status quo shall come to an end on the midnight of 31st March, 2017.
