CW 4166/10 //1// In the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan Jaipur Bench ** Civil Writ Petition No.4166/2010 Om Prakash Sharma & Ors Versus Union of India & Ors. Date of Order : 29/03/10 Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Rastogi Dr. Swati Bhati, for petitioners Petitioners being residents of village Shiwad & Sarsope (Tehsil Chauth Ka Barwara district Sawai Madhopur) have jointly approached this Court assailing NOC granted by District Collector, Sawai Madhopur vide order dt.15/02/10 (Ann.4) for installing retail out- let of petrol & diesel pump. Counsel submits that the Executive Engineer, Jaipur DISCOM vide letter dt. 12/02/2008 (Ann.2) sent its report that it would not be proper to grant NOC in view of 11 KV line being over-run through Khasra No.4796, still NOC has been granted by district Collector without there being change in circumstances. Submission made by Counsel in the opinion of this Court is without substance for the reason that what has been referred to by Executie Engineer Jaipur DISCOM in report dt.24/01/2008 is a material for the authrity to consider the matter for grant of NOC for establishing a retail outlet of petrol & diesel but that cannot be considered solely CW 4166/10 //2// for acceptance or rejection for allotment of retail outlet. However, in the instant case, while granting NOC, the authority has observed that all security & safety measures as provided under Petroleum Rules, 1976 besides guidelines of Indian Roads Congress & PWD laid down for establishment of retail outlet of petrol & diesel shall also be followed. Thus, it is a conditional NOC granted after fulfillment of conditions as laid down under relevant Rules, which is supported by site plan approved by the authority vide order dt.15/02/2010 (Ann.4). Petitioners are only residents of villages. However, NOC has been granted not to an individual person but to the Oil Company for establishing retail outlet of petrol/diesel pump; and that apart, they cannot be said to be aggrieved by grant of NOC in question. As regards report of Jaipur DISCOM that 11 KV electricity line is being over-run through Khasra No.4796, that cannot be considered to be material in isolation which may deny the authority to consider the matter for grant of NOC in question. This Court finds no justification to entertain this petition. Consequently, writ petition fails and is hereby dismissed. (Ajay Rastogi), J. K.Khatri/p2/ 4166CW2010Mar29DsPetrol.doc
