THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3821 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner, the third respondent and others submitted applications in response to the notification dated 8.06.2009 issued by the first respondent for selection of Petroleum Products Dealer. The applications were processed and interviews were conducted. It is stated that the third respondent was chosen as a dealer. The petitioner submitted a representation dated 29.09.2009 to the first respondent alleging that the selection of the third respondent does not accord with the parameters and that he is entitled to be selected as dealer. His grievance is that even while his representation is pending respondents 1 and 2 are proceeding to issue Letter Of Intent to the third respondent. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. The complaint submitted by the petitioner is referable to Clause- 19 of the Guidelines for Selection of Retail Outlet Dealers of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (for short ‘HPCL Guidelines’). The first respondent has evolved internal mechanism, to address the grievances regarding the selection of dealers. The Clause itself mandates that pending disposal of complaints, issuance of LOI shall be kept in abeyance. The prayer made in this writ petition is nothing but reiteration of the said Clause. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that respondents 1 and 2 shall abide by the letter and spirit of Clause-19 of the HPCL Guidelines, in the context of examination of representation made by the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J 19th February, 2010 Js.
