THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI MADAN B. LOKUR AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED WRIT APPEAL NO.263 OF 2011 DATED:16.11.2011 Between: Smt. Ediga Lakshmi Devi and another … Appellants And The Indian Oil Corporation Limited A.P. State Office Rep. by its Dy. General Manager (D.G.M.) At Himayathnagar, Hyderabad and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI MADAN B. LOKUR AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED WRIT APPEAL NO.263 OF 2011 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Madan B. Lokur) The appellants are aggrieved by order dt.22.3.2011 passed by the learned single Judge in W.P. No.30204 of 2010. 2. The appellants applied for Kisan Seva Kendra dealerships (retail outlets) pursuant to an advertisement issued by the respondents on 25.6.2010. One of the requirements of a valid application was that it must be accompanied by a residence certificate as evidence that the person allotted the dealership is a resident of the village concerned. 3. The appellants submitted their applications but did not give a residence certificate but gave a nativity certificate. The learned single Judge found, and in our opinion, rightly that one may be a native of a particular place but a resident of some other place. Since the applications of the appellants did not contain the residence certificate as required, they were rightly rejected. 4. Learned counsel for the appellants has pointed out that another certificate has now been obtained by his clients. We have seen the certificate and it is a residence/nativity certificate. Even this does not indicate whether the appellants are natives of the concerned village or residents of that village. 5. We find no error in the view taken by the learned single Judge nor do we find any substance in the fresh certificates produced by the appellants. WA 263 of 2011 page 1 of 2 6. The writ appeal is accordingly dismissed. Miscellaneous application is also dismissed. __________________ MADAN B. LOKUR, CJ ____________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J 16-11-2011 bnr
