CW 5835/10 (1) In the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan Jaipur Bench, Jaipur O R D E R S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.5835/2010 Mahendra Singh & Anr. Vs. Union of India & Ors. Date Of Order :: 18/05/2010 Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Rastogi Mr. Alok Garg, for petitioners. Instant petition has been filed by the petitioners against the selection process initiated by the respondents for allotment of retail outlet/KSK dealership. The petitioners along with respondents-5&6 submittted application for awarding retail outlet of KSK dealership of Indian Oil Corporation, Manda Surera, District Sikar, which was advertised by the respondents in local newspaper on 22.5.09. They all appeared before the committee constituted for the purpose and merit panel was prepared by the committee which was declared on 19.3.2010, in which respondents-5&6 were placed at serial no.1 and at the same time the present petitioners were placed at serial no.2 in the merit panel prepared by the respondent (Ann.5). Counsel submits that the petitioner has raised objections against the selection of respondents-5&6 who were placed at serial no.1 in the merit panel, vide representation dt.13.4.2010 (Ann.12) but the same has not CW 5835/10 (2) been considered by the respondents so far and if LOI is issued to respondents-5&6 on the basis of they being placed in the merit panel at serial no.1 pending objection submitted by the petitioners, it may cause prejudice to him. Counsel has brought to the notice of the Court that before the merit panel in such matters is made final the oil companies call upon objections to be submitted by the presons aggrieved but so far as present company is concerned, no such procedure has been provided for raising objections and in these circumstances, the petitioner has approached this Court by filing of the instant petition. What has been urged appears to be justified since these are all factual disputes which could be resolved by the authority at their own end after taking into consideration the objections made by the applicants who have participated in the process initiated for allotment of dealership. Without going into the merits, this Court considers it appropriate to first direct the petitioner to submit the representation within 15 days from today in addition to Ann.12 dt.13.4.2010, which the respondents shall consider and decide by a speaking order within two months after affording opportunity to respondents-5&6 who were placed at serial CW 5835/10 (3) no.1 in the merit panel, impugned herein. The final decision may be communicated to the parties and if the petitioners feel aggrieved, may avail the remedy in accordance with law. However, in the meanwhile the respondents shall not issue LOI in favour of respondents- 5&6 till disposal of the representation submitted by the petitioners, if not issued so far. With these directions/observations, the instant petition stands disposed of. (Ajay Rastogi),J. VS Shekhawat/-p.3 5835cw10May18Fnl.doc
