1 BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT DATED: 01.03.2011 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE K.K.SASIDHARAN W.P.(MD)No.2263 of 2011 S.Subbiah : Petitioner Vs. The General Manager, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., Marketing Division, Southern Region, 'Indian Oil Bhavan', 139, Mahatma Gandhi Road, Chennai-600 034. : Respondent Prayer: Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for the issue of a Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondent to consider and dispose of the representation dated 01.02.2011 of the petitioner. For Petitioner : Mr.P.Kandasamy For Respondent : No Appearance ******** ORDER ****** The petitioner seeks a Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondent to consider his representation dated 01.02.2011. 2. The respondent has issued notification calling for applications for appointment as L.P.G. Distributorship at Kayalpattinam in the district of Tuticorin. The notification was published on 06.07.2008 in Tamil Newspaper "Dinakaran". Pursuant to the said notification, the petitioner made an application. He was called for an interview and accordingly, he attended the interview on 16.06.2009. The petitioner appears to have secured 60.80 marks. Though panel was prepared by the respondent, no further action was taken. Therefore, the petitioner made a representation on 01.02.2011. Since the said representation was not considered, he was constrained to file the Writ Petition. 3. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. 4. The question as to whether a particular candidate should be appointed as a distributor is a matter to be decided by the selection committee constituted by the respondent. The materials produced by the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 petitioner shows that the respondent has issued a notification and pursuant to the said notification, application was submitted by the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that though interview was conducted on 16.06.2009, no information was received from the respondent thereafter. 5. Therefore, on a careful consideration of the entire factual matrix, I am of the view that a direction should be issued to the respondent to intimate the petitioner about the result of the interview held on 16.06.2009 and as to whether any dealer was appointed for the L.P.G. Distributorship at Kayalpattinam, pursuant to the notification dated 06.07.2008. Since the matter is of the year 2009, the respondent is directed to intimate the petitioner about the outcome of the interview, as expeditiously as possible and in any case, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. The Writ Petition is disposed of with the above direction. No costs.
