HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17189 of 2010 Date: 19.07.2010 Between: Konijeti Yellamanda & others. … Petitioners And The District Collector, Prakasam District & others. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17189 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed with a prayer to declare the action of respondents 1 to 6 in not considering the representations filed by the petitioners, as illegal. It is the grievance of the petitioners that respondents 7 to 10 are taking steps to establish a petroleum outlet of BPCL Company. They contend that the proposed location is in residential area, and nearby the said place, there is a hospital, temple and burial ground, etc. It is their grievance that though they represented the same to the authorities, no action is being taken on such representations. A copy of the representation made to respondent No.3, is filed alongwith the material papers. Under the provisions of the A.P. Petroleum Products (Licencing and Regulation of Supplies) Order, 1980, framed under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, the persons having objections for establishing a petrol bunk at a particular locality, can approach the District Collector concerned and place such objections before him, but even before grant of license, in anticipation of consideration of the application of respondents 7 to 10 to establish a petroleum outlet, petitioners cannot seek for any directions to respondents 1 to 6 not to accord permission for respondents 7 to 10. In that view of the matter, there appears no reason to entertain this writ petition, at this stage. Keeping it open to the petitioners to put-forth their objections, if any, for grant of licence for establishment of petrol bunk on the application of respondents 7 to 10, this writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 19th July 2010 ajr
