Anita Chawla .....Petitioner versus Union of India and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Sandeep Kotla, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner was allotted the `Kishan Sewa Kendra' Retail Outlet Dealership by the Indian Oil Corporation at village Gari- Sikanderpur on Naphta Cracker Plant Road (Sidhana-Singhpura), District Panipat. The dealership was cancelled vide memo dated 21.6.2010 (Annexure P-3) on the allegation that during the field investigation, the petitioner's financial status was found at variance to the claim made in her application dated 24.3.2009. The aggrieved petitioner immediately submitted a representation-cum-appeal dated 12.8.2010 (Annexure P-4) with one of the plea that as against the requirement of investment of Rs.10 lacs, she had Rs.14 lacs in her bank accounts on the date of submission of the application form, out of which Rs.2 lacs were though subsequently withdrawn but were deposited in another account opened in the Centurion C.W.P.No .19657 of 2010 2 Bank which was also later on merged in the HDFC Bank. The petitioner asserts that Rs.12 lacs are still lying in her bank account referred to by the respondents and the same are more than the required amount for such investment. The petitioner's representation-cum-appeal though is still pending consideration, yet the respondent-Corporation has issued a fresh advertisement for allotment of the subject outlet. Aggrieved, the petitioner has approached this Court. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the fact that the representation-cum-appeal preferred by the petitioner is pending consideration before the Regional General Manager- cum-Appellate Authority, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Appellate Authority to decide the petitioner's afore-mentioned appeal-cum-representation by passing a reasoned order, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Till then, no afresh allotment of the `Kishan Sewa Kendra' Retail Outlet Dealership at village Gari-Sikanderpur on Naphta Cracker Plant Road (Sidhana-Singhpura), District Panipat, shall be made. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. November 02, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
