1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.5787 OF 2007 Shri Ravikant Vishnu Bhalerao .... Petitioner V/s The Union of India & Ors. .... Respondents. ----- Mr. M.S. Karnik for the Petitioner. Mr. Sarang S. Aradhye for Respondent No.3. ----- CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH & V.M. KANADE, JJ. DATE : 26th November, 2007. P.C.: 1. It appears that the advertisement was published for allotment of petrol pump sites. The Petitioner was issued a letter of intent for site at Nashik but it was found that, that site was not available as the land has not been acquired. Therefore, a policy decision was taken that those persons who have been given the letter of intent but have not been allotted sites for petrol pump, should be given the company owned petrol pumps for running. It is this decision which is challenged in this Petition. 2. According to the Petitioner, he belongs to Scheduled 2 Castes and, therefore, he should be allotted the company owned petrol pump for running on priority basis. The Corporation has prepared a list of letter of intent holders according to the date on which the letter of intent was given to them. 3. In our opinion, the criteria adopted by the Corporation for preparing the list of persons who have been given the letter of intent is an intelligible criteria. No exception can be taken to it. Petition is, therefore, rejected. (D.K. DESHMUKH, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.) 3
