Case Summary: The Gauhati High Court (Kohima Bench) dismissed M/S H. Pujok and Sons' writ petition claiming Rs. 18,66,368 for constructing an open-air theatre at Jakphang under a centrally-sponsored Ministry of Tourism scheme. The court allowed withdrawal, noting the petitioner failed to raise doctrines of promissory estoppel and legitimate expectation, and crucially omitted the Ministry of Tourism as a party despite the work being centrally-funded. The court granted liberty to re-file the petition with proper formalities or approach the Civil Court, and excluded the pendency period from limitation calculations. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
