Rahul Yadav & Anr vs M/S. Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. & Ors on 1 July, 2015
In view of the facts as narrated hereinabove, it is abundantly clear that the petitioner was not having the lease in respect of the offered land in terms of clause 4(vi)(a) of the Dealership Selection Guidelines, 2023 and as such, in the light of the judgment rendered by this Court in the case of Rahul Singh (Supra), he was not eligible for being considered for the allotment/award of the retail dealership outlet. The impugned rejection of the candidature of the applicant/petitioner vide E-mail/order dated 01.03.2024 does not suffer from any illegality or infirmity. Therefore, the decision of BPCL/respondent no. 3 in rejecting the candidature of the applicant/petitioner needs no interference.
