JUSTICE BIRENDRA PRASAD VERMA Patna High Court LPA No.1048 of 2011 (7) dt.19-09-2011 2 / 2 2 ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 7 19-09-2011 Feeling aggrieved by the judgment and order dated 10th May 2011 made by the learned single Judge in above CWJC No. 4890 of 2011, the writ petitioner has preferred the present Appeal under Clause 10 of the Letter Patent. The matter at dispute is the allotment of retail outlet of petroleum product by the respondent no. 1, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, in Village - Chilhari, District – Buxar. Admittedly, the plot of land offered by the appellant is not situated within the revenue limits of the Village – Chilhari. The appellant, therefore, cannot have legitimate right of allotment of retail outlet or a legitimate grievance against the Indian Oil Corporation Limited for not accepting the offer made by the appellant. Once, the appellant could not satisfy the conditions set out by the respondent no. 1 for allocation of retail outlet; the challenge to the rejection of the offer is not maintainable. Appeal is dismissed in limine. Interlocutory Applications stand disposed of. Dilip. (R.M. Doshit, CJ) (Birendra Prasad Verma, J)
