In fact, counsel for the IOC has stated that whatever outsourcing agreements executed were without the permission of IOC. Be that as it may, under no condition the petitioner can claim any relief against IOC, particularly in facts of the present case. Firstly, the entire issue is in realm of contractual relations. Secondly, large number of disputed questions of facts are involved. Thirdly, there is no privity of contract between the petitioner and the IOC - Mere completion of the work even by the principal agency need not always be the sole criteria for payment when complex contractual obligations are to be performed. Petition dismissed.
