HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P. No. 23469 of 2003 DATED: 09.02.2010 Between: G.Lalitha .. Petitioner And 1. The Indian Oil Corpn. Ltd. 2. The Dealer Selection Board, IOCL .. Respondents O R D E R:- The petitioner asserts that the 1st respondent issued Notification dated 30.06.2000 invited applications from eligible candidates for appointment to the post of LPG distributor at Gorantla under defence category, and in response to the Notification, she applied for the distributorship under the defence category, and thereafter, she passed SSC examination in July, 2001 and attended the interview on 27.10.2003 for the dealership. Now, her main grievance is that even though she passed SSC examination, the respondents rejected her candidature for appointment to the post of L.P.G. distributor on the ground that she did not pass SCC examination as on the date of Notification. Hence, the petitioner filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions. The learned Standing Counsel for Indian Oil Corporation Limited appearing for the respondents submitted that none of the applicants, who submitted applications in pursuance of the Notification dated 30.06.2000 were found eligible for appointment to the post of L.P.G. distributor. During the pendency of this writ petition, another Notification was issued in the year 2004, calling for applications for LPG distributors for Gorantla, and among the applicants, who applied for distributorship, one T.Prabhakar Rao, was selected and appointed and he is continuing as dealer. Heard the learned counsel for both the parties and perused the material placed on record. In view of the submission made by the learned Standing Counsel that one T.Prabhakar Rao, was already selected and appointed as LPG distributor for Gorantla, and is continuing as such, the cause in this writ petition does not survive for further adjudication. The writ petition is accordingly closed. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V. RAMULU, J. 09.02.2010 bcj
