THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.26169 OF 2005 DATED: 15-06-2007 BETWEEN Sudhir Service Station, Husnabad, Rep. by its Proprietor, Sri Vemula Narayana Rao, S/o. Sri Ramachandran, R/o. Husnabad V & M, Karimnagar District. …PETITIONER AND The Chief Regional Manager (Retail) Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd., 130/5, Sabestrian Street, S.D. Road, P.B.No.5, Secunderabad and others. …RESPONDENTS ORDER: None appears of the petitioner. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he is an existing dealer of a petrol bunk at Husnabad, Karimnagar District, the respondents are proposing to establish a new outlet within a distance of 200 meters from his existing bunk and grant licence in favour of the sixth respondent, which is illegal and arbitrary and contrary to the guidelines. 3. Counter has been filed stating that that there are no restrictions to permit another outlet and the said action of the respondents do not contravene any of the guidelines. However, the petitioner is unable to produce any guidelines prohibiting sanction of a new outlet within a distance of 200 meters. It is stated that these questions have been considered and rejected stating that the rival dealer has not pointed out any contraventions; as such the writ petition is not maintainable. 4. In view of the aforesaid counter, I am of the opinion that no orders need be passed in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V. ESWARAIAH, J June 15, 2007 DSK
