HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17819 OF 2010 ORDER: In this Writ Petition, petitioner seeks direction to declare the action of the respondents in not taking steps on his representation dated 30-06-2010, by which he has raised objections for establishment of the Petroleum Outlet at Palla Buzurg in Survey Nos.261/C, 264/B and 265/B, near Bus Stand, Narayanpet Town, Mahabubnagar District. 2. The Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited has addressed a letter dated 04-05-2010 to the District Collector, Mahabubnagar, stating that said organization is engaged in processing and marketing petroleum products and they have decided to set up one such outlet in Survey Nos.261, 264 and 265 of Narayanpet Village and requested to issue ‘no objection certificate’ for the same and based on such representation, District Collector has instructed the Revenue Divisional Officer concerned to submit a factual status report vide his letter No.H1/2330/10 dated 18-05-2010. 3. While the matter stood thus, by representation dated 30-06-2010 petitioner filed objection petition with a request to not to grant ‘no objection certificate’ in favour of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited on the proposed site and the same was sent to the Tahsildar concerned for conducting discrete enquiry and the matter is pending for consideration. At this stage, this writ petition is filed. 4. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents and perused the material made available on record. 5. Even though a request is made by the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited for grant of ‘no objection certificate’ to establish a petroleum outlet, so far, no such certificate is issued by the competent authority. Under the provisions of the A.P. Petroleum Products (Licensing and Regulation of Supplies) Order, 1980, a Control Order framed under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, District Collector is the competent authority for issuance of B-Form licence. As much as the objections are already filed by the petitioner for the proposed location of the petroleum outlet, there appears no reason to entertain this writ petition by this Court, to examine such objections, at this stage. 6. Since the objections of the petitioner are already placed before the District Collector, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the District Collector to look into the objections of the petitioner while considering the request of the Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited for grant of ‘no objection certificate’ for establishing the petroleum outlet proposed by it. 7. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J July 26, 2010. PV
