Johnson and Johnson Pvt Ltd Th Pranab Sharma v. Healthium Medtech Ltd and Others

ORDER

13.07.2026

LPA No. 170/2025:

¶1Challenge in this appeal is to the judgment dated 02.06.2025 passed in WP(C) No.2808/2024 titled 'Healthium Medtech Limited vs. Union Territory of J&K and ors'. The writ petition was disposed of with direction to the respondents to set aside the Minutes of Meeting dated

02.09.2024 and all consequent decisions made by respondent Nos. 2 to 4

including the rejection of bids, finalization of the contract after opening of financial bids, issuance of letters of Intent and execution of rate contracts in favour of respondent Nos. 5 & 6. Respondent Nos. 2 to 4 were also directed to initiate fresh tender process immediately upon pronouncement of judgment and also to rectify all ambiguities in the existing tender documents.

¶2Learned counsel for both the parties fairly submit that the respondents have issued a fresh tender in terms of the judgment dated

02.06.2025 and have implemented the direction contained therein, therefore, nothing survives for consideration in the present Letters Patent Appeal.

¶3Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant submits that the only grievance of the appellant is with regard to the observations made regarding the alleged monopoly of the appellant-company in the tendering process as stated in Paragraph Nos. 1, 39, 40, 50 and 57 of the judgment. These observations, are erroneous as the facts, regarding the same were neither pleaded nor any opportunity to rebut them was granted to the appellant.

¶4We are of the considered view that since a fresh tender has been issued by the respondents/authorities and all the parties also intend to participate in the same, the judgment stands implemented. Consequently, nothing survives for adjudication in this appeal.

¶5Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant may be granted the liberty to approach the learned writ Court for renew of the judgment.

¶6The present Letters Patent Appeal has become infructuous and is accordingly dismissed with liberty to approach the learned Single Judge for review of the judgment, if so advised, in accordance with law. LPA No. 269/2025:

¶1There are some errors in the impugned judgment which require correction. However, keeping in view the fact that the fresh tender has been issued, the appellant seeks withdrawal of the instant Letters Patent Appeal with liberty to approach the learned Single Judge for correction of the judgment.

¶2In view of the aforesaid submission made by learned counsel for the appellant, this Letters Patent Appeal is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty as prayed for.
