Indian Oil Corporation Limited has issued a letter of intent to the petitioner on 27.07.2011 for locating Indane Distributorship at Korutla in Karimnagar District under Defence Category for the marketing plan 2004 - 2007. As per the said letter of intent, basing on his application, the petitioner was directed to construct a godown on the land covered by Survey No.458/1 to 8 of Kallur Road, Korutla, Karimnagar District. It is the case of the petitioner that after receipt of the aforesaid letter of intent, he applied to the local authority i.e. Korutla Municipality for construction of godown so as to comply the terms of letter of intent but the Municipality by notice, dated 19.08.2011 issued in Letter No.G/917/2011, refused to consider his request on the ground that as per the Master Plan approved by the Government in G.O.Ms.No.121, dated 11.03.2010, the area covered by Survey No.458/1 to 8 is falling in bypass 180 feet wide road. It is his grievance that in view of such rejection, he submitted a representation to the third respondent - Chief Area Manager, M/s.Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Indane Area Office, Himayathnagar, Hyderabad, on 05.09.2011 and so far, no orders have been passed thereon. Though the petitioner seeks declaration by way of mandamus, the question with regard to suitability of the land for construction of godown is required to be considered by the respondents. While it is true that in terms of the letter of intent, the petitioner has made an attempt to construct a godown, the statutory authority i.e. Municipal Commissioner, who is competent to accord the permission, has rejected the same by notice, dated 19.08.2011. As much as the petitioner submitted representation on 05.09.2011 and the same is stated to be pending before the third respondent, I deem it appropriate to direct the third respondent to consider representation, dated 05.09.2011, submitted by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders and communicate the same to him as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of three (3) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 27th OCTOBER, 2011. Note:issue c.c. in three (3) days. kvni
