Abstract
In this paper, we have introduced a generalised Kannan type contraction. It has been established that such mappings necessarily have fixed points in a complete partially ordered metric space. The fixed point is unique under some additional conditions. The result is illustrated with an example. The work is in the line of research in fixed point theory on ordered metric structures.
