THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION NO. 26977 OF 2005 DATED: 09-11-2006 Between: S. Subash Chandra Naik, S/o. S. Linga Naik … Petitioner And Chief Divisional Manager, Indian Oil Corporation, Hyderabad And two others … Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION NO. 26977 OF 2005 ORDER: By the judgment dated 08-09-2006, W.P.No.7364/2006 filed by one of the claimants to the dealership for a retail petroleum outlet at Mettuguda, was disposed of holding (that the claim of the petitioner therein as to the disqualification of the 4th respondent, entitled the petitioner therein for grant of dealership) ought not to be considered by this court as that is an area within the discretion of the official respondents, who are respondents 1 to 3 herein. This writ petition is filed on the grievance that though the petitioner herein secured the first rank in the order of merit among the applicants for the retail outlet dealership of Mettuguda, the respondents are not finalizing the selection and granting him the letter of allotment, in accordance with law. As W.P.No.7364/2006 has already been disposed of, there is now no impediment for the respondents to consider and decide on the competing claims for grant of dealership. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the respondents to consider and decide on the issue of grant of retail petroleum outlet dealership at Mettuguda, expeditiously, in any event within a period of six (6) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. _____________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J. Dt: 09-11-2006 Rns
