    Case Summary: WP(C)/41/2024 M/S H. Pujok and Sons sought Rs. 20,81,889 for construction work at Jakphang funded under a centrally-sponsored Ministry of Tourism scheme. The Gauhati High Court allowed withdrawal of the petition, noting the Ministry of Tourism should have been made a party and that promissory estoppel/legitimate expectation doctrines—not raised in the writ petition—were relevant. The court granted liberty to re-file or approach Civil Court, excluding the petition pendency period from limitation computation as a measure of fairness. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
