THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.23498 of 2010 Date : 23-11-2010 Between : M.Vasuda w/o.M.V. Ramana .. Petitioner And The District Collector, Kurnool, Kurnool District and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Sri R.Chandra Reddy Counsel for respondents 1 to 3 : Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies The Court made the following : ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to set-aside Form ‘B’ licence issued by respondent No.2 in favour of respondent No.4 for purchase/sale/storage for sale of L.P.Gas. I have heard Sri R.Chandra Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. The petitioner is one of the unsuccessful applicants for appointment as distributor of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation for Dhone village and Mandal, Kurnool District. The petitioner is stated to have filed a civil suit against the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation selecting respondent No.4 as the distributor. While the said suit is pending, respondent No.2 issued Form ‘B’ licence to respondent No.4. The petitioner alleged that respondent No.4 has misled respondent No.2 into granting the licence. In my opinion, with her failure to get selected as the distributor, the petitioner loses her locus to question the subsequent action taken by respondent No.2 at the instance of respondent No.4. Even if Form ‘B’ licence issued in favour of respondent No.4 is set-aside, the same will not enure to the benefit of the petitioner. It is not the pleaded case of the petitioner that he is espousing public cause in filing this Writ Petition. For the above mentioned reasons, I do not find any merit in the Writ Petition. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.30075/2010 is disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.
