Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. Ors. vs Swapnil Singh on 8 September, 2015
11. From the materials on record, it has clearly emerged that on the last date of submission of
application i.e. 25.06.2018, the petitioner did not have any registered lease deed in respect of
the proposed plot of land offered for Godown / Showroom of LPG distributorship for the
subject location. She submitted her candidature only on the basis of a notarised lease
agreement dated 23.06.2018. It is, thus, evident that the petitioner did not fulfil the criteria of
eligibility in respect of the plot of land offered for Godown / Showroom of LPG distributorship
in terms of the advertisement dated 25.05.2018 and the Brochure on Unified Guidelines for
Selection of LPG Distributors. The observations made in Swapnil Singh (supra) applies proprio
vigore with the fact situation obtaining in the present case. Thus, this Court does not find any
good and sufficient reason to interfere with the decision of the respondent HPCL authorities
with regard to rejection of candidature of the petitioner for LPG distributorship for the subject
location vide the impugned letter dated 17.11.2018 is concerned.
