Jha, Sr. Advocate ----------- 2 27-7-2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant, learned counsel for the State, learned counsel appearing for the Indian Oil Corporation Ltd and 2 learned counsel for respondent no.6. The writ court has considered the issue raised by the appellant/ writ petitioner and has held that the land obtained by the selected person, respondent no.6 herein conforms to the requirement of the Indian Oil Corporation as it is a land having 45 m x 45 m dimension. Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the local unit of measurement which is also mentioned in the lease deed whereby 45 m x 45 m of land was leased by the successful candidate, shows lesser land compared to the area of land obtained by multiplying 45 m x 45 m . The calculation of area of the land in the local unit or in decimal may suffer from arithmetical or clerical error but the lease deed shows the land to be 45 m x 45m, as per requirement of the advertisement issued by the Indian Oil Corporation. In our view, the Corporation has not 3 committed any illegality in selecting respondent no.6 as a retail outlet dealer for the location in question in the district of Saran. We find no merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. Naresh ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) ( Shivaji Pandey, J)
