THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.R. Bannurmath, C.J. & A.K. Basheer, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.A.No. 1859 OF 2009 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 19th day of August, 2009 JUDGMENT Basheer, J. Appellant is the petitioner in WP(C) No.11599 of 2009. The above writ petition was disposed of by the learned Single Judge along with WP(C) No.6947 of 2009 by a common judgment. Appellant and respondent No.3, the petitioners in those two cases, have admittedly staked claim for appointment as LPG distributor under the Indian Oil Corporation in Kasargod Urban Area. 2. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and having perused the impugned judgment and the other relevant materials on record, we are of the view that it is not necessary for us to deal with the various contentions raised by the rival claimants at this stage. Suffice it to say that the learned Judge has rightly held that the two claimants have to be given a further opportunity to raise all their contentions WA No.1859 of 2009 -:2:- before the appropriate authority namely, the Chief Area Manager who is respondent No.1 in this appeal. 3. While disposing of the two writ petitions, the learned Judge has directed the authority concerned to ensure that it shall record the contentions of both parties and enter specific findings in respect of the same. Though the learned counsel for the appellant has tried to advance an argument that the authority concerned may be influenced by the earlier decisions taken in the matter, we do not find any reason or ground for such an apprehension. In our view, the direction issued by the learned Single Judge is specific, clear and unambiguous. The learned Single Judge has directed respondent No.1 to advert to all the contentions of both parties and enter specific findings in respect of all of them. In that view of the matter, we do not find any illegality in the judgment under challenge. 4. However, we make it clear that respondent No.1 shall not be influenced or trammelled by any of the WA No.1859 of 2009 -:3:- observations made by the learned Single Judge in the impugned judgment. Writ Appeal is disposed of in the above terms. S.R. Bannurmath, Chief Justice. A.K. Basheer, Judge. ttb
