M/S Rita Petrol Pump vs Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd on 29 April, 2024
8. Reliance was also placed on Sadbhavana H P Gas
v. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. 2018 (4) PLJR 993.
The appellant is guilty of deliberate false representation. The
Brochure issued by the Corporation, calling for applications for
allotment of retail outlets, clearly provided for cancellation of
the allotment at any stage when it is established that the
allotment was on a wrong premise due to the false
representation made by the applicant. Trite is the principle that
fraud vitiates everything argues the respondent-Corporation,
which seeks dismissal of the appeal.
