1. This order shall dispose of Intra-Court Appeal Nos.127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 137, 138 and 139 of 1995 as all of these are directed against the orders dated 2-10-1996 whereby the appellants' writ petitions were dismissed in limine.
2. Facts briefly for the disposal of these Intra-Court Appeals are that the appellants were having vending licences of Pakistan Railways. The appellants through their respective writ petitions challenged the notices issued by the competent Authority intimating them that their respective vending contracts would not be renewed after their expiry. Appellants challenged these notices on the ground that since they were issued vending licences on sympathetic consideration as such the respondent functionaries have got no justification to refuse extension. The learned Judge after hearing the appellants dismissed the Constitutional petition. Hence this appeal.
3. We have noticed that it was a contractual matter and the lease period in all these cases have already been expired as far back as on 3-10-1995. The appellants were obviously licensee for a particular period which has already expired since October, 1995. They have, thus, got no vested right to claim extension. The matter being contractual in nature and the lease period having already expired more than a year ago, no case is made out for interference. The Intra Court Appeals are accordingly dismissed at preliminary hearing.
