IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3955 of 2007 RENU DEVI Versus THE INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LTD & ORS ----------- 02. 11.02.2010 The primary reason why the Court is not willing to adjudicate the matter in favour of the petitioner at this stage is that the petitioner has slept over her right with regard to selection and appointment of respondent No.5 as a dealer for retail outlet for which selection was made way back in January, 2006. No doubt the present writ application came to be filed on 28.3.2007 but no steps have been taken to forestall the respondent Corporation from issuing a letter of intent to the private respondent or commissioning of the dealership. The stay petition filed in this regard is dated 30th March, 2009 and now a supplementary affidavit alleging many a things has been filed on the 2nd of February, 2010. It is in this background that counsel representing the Oil Corporation takes a preliminary objection that the dealership has been commissioned way back on 31.12.2007 and the petitioner has allowed these to take its course. It is too late in the day now to undo what has already been done a little more than two years ago. The preliminary objection of the respondent Corporation merits consideration. 2 The conduct of the petitioner has frustrated her own writ application in the above stated background. The writ application is dismissed. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J )
