THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 27017 OF 2010 O R D E R: This Writ Petition has been instituted questioning the action of Respondents 1 to 5 in awarding more marks to the 6th respondent and treating her to have secured 1st rank while finalizing the selections for awarding the dealership under Kisan Seva Kendra (Retail Outlet) dealership at Korasawada Village, Pathapatnam Mandal, Srikakulam District. The writ petitioner has asserted that for extraneous reasons and considerations, the 6th respondent has been awarded excessive marks without a proper assessment as to whether awarding of such marks is warranted at all or not. It is also stated that the marks which the writ petitioner is supposed to gain have been purposefully downplayed. Be that as it may, the learned Standing Counsel for the Indian Oil Corporation, Sri Thoomu Srinivas, has rightly pointed out that wherever the candidates entertain any grievance with regard to the awarding of marks, a redressal mechanism is provided, so that the grievance redressal committee would make a re-assessment of the entire matter and then, decide the question. It is also pointed out by the learned Standing Counsel that the writ petitioner has already submitted a representation seeking redressal of her grievance on 06.10.2010 and the said representation is currently receiving the attention of the grievance redressal committee of the Corporation. It is, therefore, not appropriate for this Court to pronounce any opinion on merits, at this stage. I agree with the contention canvassed by the learned Standing Counsel. When once a grievance redressal committee is constituted, the said committee is entitled to go into the entire fact situation and take a fresh consideration of the factors and arrive at a decision independently. Therefore, it is not proper for this Writ Petition to be entertained, instead, the grievance redressal committee is directed to decide the grievance of the writ petitioner and make available its findings to her, within a maximum period of six weeks from today and till such time the said committee finalizes the grievance of the writ petitioner, the dealership may not be awarded or finalized in favour of the 6th respondent. With this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of at the stage of admission. It is needless to observe that all contentions canvassed in the Writ Petition are kept open and the disposal of this Writ Petition is, in no manner, reflective of any opinion on merits or lack of it in the Writ Petition. No costs. --------------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 2nd November 2010 Note: Issue CC by 08.11.2010. ksld THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION NO.17066 OF 2010 DATED: 20th July, 2010.
