THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.4631 of 2011 ORDER: The Indian Oil Corporation issued notification, dated 25.06.2010, inviting applications for selection of Dealers, for establishment of a petroleum outlet, at Badanakurthy Village, Khanapur Mandal, Adilabad District. The petitioner and certain others submitted applications. On evaluation of the applications, the Committee awarded 86.17 marks to the petitioner, which is the highest. The grievance of the petitioner is that, even through he was declared as successful candidate, the respondents are trying to allot the outlet to third parties. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The marks sheet, in respect of the candidates for Badanakurthy outlet, discloses that the petitioner was awarded 86.17 marks and another candidate, by name Yella Ravi, was awarded 85.83 marks. It is stated that the latter filed an application before the Grievance Redressal Committee and that an Enquiry Officer was appointed to look into the grievances. The procedure for grievance redressal is contained in the notification itself. If any decision adverse to the interests of the petitioner is to be taken, it can be only after issuing notice to him. The apprehension of the petitioner appears to be without basis. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, taking on record the statement made by the learned Standing Counsel that no steps adverse to the interests of the petitioner would be taken, without issuing notice to him. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.24.02.2011. Note: Furnish C.C. by tomorrow. (B/o) GJ
