AJN 250211-WP7526.10 2 2. The petitioner has in this petition prayed for cancelling of the advertisement dated 26/12/2009 issued by respondent 1 for selection of Petrol/Diesel Retail Outlet Dealers on 534 locations along with its earlier advertisement issued for village Lasurne Junction for the years 2007-2009 issued by respondent 1. 3. We are informed that so far as village Lasurne is concerned, the said location is reserved for para military/police/public/Government personnel (women). It is not possible for us to direct respondent 1 to change the locations or the reservation. Admittedly, the petitioner has applied for an outlet in village Lasurne Junction. If the petitioner's application is pending then, respondent 1 shall deal with it in it in accordance with law. 4. Needless to say that in case the said outlet is not allotted to the petitioner, the petitioner can adopt any remedy available to him in law if he so desires. We make it AJN 250211-WP7526.10 3 clear that we have not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case. 5. The petition is disposed of in the aforestated terms. [MRS. RANJANA DESAI, J.] [RANJIT MORE, J.]
