THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25986 of 2003 Between: M/s.Vijay Gas Company ..... PETITIONER AND Union of India and others .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner:NONE APPEARED The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for the following substantive relief: “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, the petitioner prays that the Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue an appropriate writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not extending the facilities of 15 Kms. Radius as area of operation to the petitioner while extending the said benefit to the new distributors appointed as per the market plan 96-98 as arbitrary, illegal, discriminatory and colorable exercise of powers and further declare the action of the respondents in seeking to appoint new dealers without any market survey and without any scientific basis as arbitrary, illegal and unreasonable and issue a consequential direction to the respondents to extend the same benefit as was given to the new distributors to the petitioner also and further direct the respondents not to appoint new dealers till the petitioner becomes viable.” On 13.10.2009, no one appeared for the petitioner. Even today, there is no appearance for the petitioner despite the fact that the writ petition is coming up under the caption “for dismissal”. It is, therefore, reasonable to presume that the petitioner is not interested in pursuing its cause in the writ petition. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed in default.
