HONOURABLE Mr. JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.1911 of 2008 Dated: February 22, 2008 Between: Smt. Bogi Rajya Lakshmi, W/o. B.T. Rao, Aged 33 years, Occ: Agent in Margadari Chit Fund Ltd., R/o. Pedanahhuoakenm, Gantyada Mandal, Vizianagaram District. … Petitioner And Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Visakha Divisional Office, 8th Floor, KIC Building, Jeevitha Bheema Marg, Visakhapatnam – 530 004, Visakhapatnam District. … Respondent Order: This writ petition has been filed questioning the order dated 20-10-2007 passed by the respondent-corporation, by which the application of the petitioner for Dealership, to run a petrol bunk under Kisan Seva Kendra scheme, was rejected. 2. The Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., through its marketing division, issued notification dated 09-06-2007, in Eenadu Telugu newspaper calling for applications from interested persons to establish petrol bunks under the Kisan Seva Kendra Scheme, for supply of diesel and lubricating oils. In the said advertisement, at S.No.145, location of Gantyada in Vizianagaram District is notified. 3. The case of the petitioner is that pursuant to the said notification, she submitted application in the pro forma prescribed and requested the respondent-corporation to permit her to establish a petrol bunk under the said, at Kotarupalli Junction nearby SSS Degree College, situated in S.No.11/1 in an extent of Ac.0.20 cents. According to the petitioner, the said place is most convenient for establishment of a petrol bunk. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent, by order dated 20-10-2007, rejected her application on the ground that the site proposed by her is not in the locations notified in the notification. 4. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondent-corporation. 5. In the notification dated 09-06-2007 issued by the respondent- corporation, the location Gantyada of Vizinagaram finds place at S.No.145 and applications of interested persons were called for, to establish a petrol bunk at Gantyada, under the Kisan Seva Kendra Scheme. Even according to the petitioner, the site which she had proposed for the purpose of establishing a petrol bunk is in S.No.11/1, at Kotarupalli Juniction, near SSS Degree College. Petitioner claims that the said location is the most convenient for opening of a petrol bunk. It is stated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that the notified location is at a distance of 11 kms., from the location which the petitioner has proposed. The respondent-corporation has notified several locations in the notification keeping in view the feasibility and various other factors into consideration. Hence, identification of locations for petrol bunks is in the domain of the respondent- corporation. It is to be seen that the respondent-corporation has clearly notified the location of Gantyada, at S.No.145, in the notification. But, however, petitioner, without proposing to establish petrol bunk at the said place, requested the respondent-corporation to permit her establish the petrol bunk at some other place. Hence, I do not find any illegality in the action of the respondent-corporation in rejecting the application of the petitioner. 6. The writ petition is liable to be dismissed and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________________ JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY. February 21, 2008 MRR
