THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WP NO. 30400 OF 2011 Date of Judgment: 23.11.2011 Between: Modem Kota Reddy …Petitioner and Indian Oil Corporation Limited and others ..Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WP NO. 30400 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, and Mr. P. Prabhakar, advocate for respondents 1 to 3. No notice is required to be issued to 4th respondent who is the present licencee in view of the order being passed in this writ petition. The only grievance of the petitioner is that he has filed an appeal before the 2nd respondent against the order of termination of his dealership, dated 10.11.2005, but the said appeal is not being entertained and no orders are being passed. It appears that the petitioner’s dealership was terminated on 10.11.2005 which was questioned by him in WP No. 26180 of 2005 unsuccessfully, against which WA 1051 of 2009 was preferred which was also dismissed and SLP Nos. 35150 and 35151 of 2009 were also dismissed by the Supreme Court, on 14.3.2011. The petitioner has thereafter availed remedy of appeal which is now pending before the 2nd respondent. The said appeal appears to have been filed on 15.5.2011 and received by the 2nd respondent on 19.5.2011 and since then it is pending. As the aforesaid appeal is required to be considered and disposed of by the 2nd respondent in accordance with law, it is appropriate to dispose of this writ petition directing the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of the said appeal in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J Dt. 23.11.2011 KR
