THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2431 of 2011 ORDER: The Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, respondent No.1 herein, issued a notification, dated 06.09.2010, inviting applications for selection of retail outlet dealers at various places. One such place is Amadagur Village, Anantapur District. The petitioner, respondent No.4 and six others submitted applications. In the course of evaluation, the petitioner was placed at serial No.2 and respondent No.4 at serial No.1. Stating that the marks, which she deserved, were not awarded to her and that respondent No.4 was awarded marks contrary to the guidelines, the petitioner submitted a representation before the Grievance Redressal Committee. The petitioner contends that even while the consideration of her complaint is pending, further steps are being taken by respondent Nos.1 to 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioner has availed the remedy that is provided for under the guidelines. The Committee is vested with the power to reevaluate the entire process and to arrive at its own conclusions. There are instances where the Committee has reversed the decision taken by the authorities concerned including the one of assignment of ranks to the applicants. The petitioner is under the impression that respondent Nos.1 to 3 are taking further steps even while her complaint is being examined. That impression is not correct. The guidelines themselves provide for maintenance of status quo or keeping issuance of letter of intent in abeyance. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that further steps in the matter of selection of dealer for Amadagur Village, Anantapur District shall stand stayed in terms of clause 19 (a) of the guidelines. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 08.02.2011. kdl
