When the petitioner applied for annual renewal of the agreement to run the KIOSK in the third respondent premises, the same was rejected vide order dated 02.04.2021. Immediately, the petitioner approached this Court by filing W.P.No.11000 of 2021 challenging the said proceedings and this Court had granted an order of interim stay and the said writ petition is pending. Based on the said order, the petitioner has renewed the annual increment regularly.

While so, the Government Medical College and Hospital, Nammakkal District has been shifted to a new premise in November 2023. However, the petitioner's request for shifting KIOSK from the existing place to new premise was not accepted by the third respondent. The petitioner sent representations in this regard on 30.06.2023 and 08.11.2023, however, the same were not considered. Hence, this Writ Petition is filed.
