In this paper we prove existence of fixed point theorems for Z-contractive map, Geraghty type contractive map and interpolative Hardy-Rogers type contractive mapping in the setting of SJS- metric spaces with two metrics. Examples are constructed to high light the significance of newly obtained results.
