The Senior Divisional Retail Sales Manager, Indian Oil Corporation, Block-A, Mauaryalok Complex, 3rd floor, Dak Bunglow Road, Patna. 4. The Engineer-in-Chief, Road Construction Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. ----------- 02. 23.12.2009 Certain development project carried out in the State of Bihar has proved detrimental to the interest of the petitioner. The irony is not lost on this Court but the fact stands that the road in question on which Kisan Sewa Kendra was supposed to be started has been upgraded to the level of State Highway. The policy decision of the Company is to locate the Kisan Sewa Kendra in rural areas for the benefit of the farmers. After the upgradation of the road no Kisan Sewa Kendra can be established by the respondent company. Petitioner has been communicated this decision vide order dated 14.8.2009. Annexure-1 is therefore under challenge in the present writ application. Submission of the counsel for the respondents on this issue is that whatever decision has been taken is within the policy frame- work of the company. Petitioner does not have any quarrel with the policy but he had hopes in his heart when he had made the application. The policy being what they are there is no infirmity with - 2 - the decision contained in Annexure-1. Upgradation of the road to the level of State Highway may open further opportunity to the petitioner and may be, when an advertisement is made he may have an occasion to seek appointment of retail outlet if he fulfils the requisite conditions. As of today, no interference is warranted, The writ application is dismissed. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
