THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 31537 of 2010 Dated: 15-12-2010 Between: P.R.Babul Reddy …Petitioner and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd., rep. by its Chairman and Managing Director and others. …Respondents O R D E R: Heard Sri P.Gangaiah Naidu, learned senior Counsel for the writ petitioner, Sri T.Srinivas on behalf of respondents 1 and 2 and on behalf of the 4th respondent Sri O.Manoher Reddy. In view of the order, which I propose to pass now, I do not consider it necessary to put respondents 3 and 5 on notice. The writ petitioner is one of the applicants for LPG distributorship notified by the 1st respondent-Corporation to be located at Thevanampalli village in Chittoor District. His candidature has been denied for two valid reasons i.e., he is not a resident of Thevanampalli village, but he is a resident of Palli Cheruvu, which is a different village and that the land offered by the writ petitioner for location of the LPG godown is not located at Thevanampalli village. Against these two findings rendering him ineligible, the writ petitioner has drawn a detailed representation on 11-11-2010 and submitted it to the Senior Regional Manager of the 1st respondent-Corporation denying and disputing the two statement of facts, which form the basis for rejection of his candidature. The Corporation has framed certain guidelines and published the same as brochure on selection of Rajiv Gandhi Gramin LPG Vitarak Scheme. Clause 15 thereof dealt with Grievance/Complaint Redressal System. Clause 15.2 sets out that on receipt of a complaint, the Oil Company will conduct the necessary investigation and take appropriate action thereafter. In view of the Scheme providing for Grievance and Complaint Redressal mechanism, it is only appropriate that the complaint lodged by the writ petitioner herein on 11-11-2010 be treated as a grievance/complaint by the 1st respondent-Oil Company and the same be redressed as expeditiously as possible preferably within thirty days time from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is needless to observe that the decision of the Grievance Redressal Committee would be communicated to the petitioner. The writ petition is therefore disposed of in the above terms. No costs. ------------------------------------- NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J 15th December, 2010 GRR
