2. None appears on behalf of the petitioner despite repeated calls. It appears that on the earlier occasion also, the matter had to be taken up on 05.07.2018 in absence of the petitioner. After hearing the respondents, the order was dictated in open Court but soon thereafter the petitioner appeared and sought pass over which was granted. The matter cannot therefore be adjourned yet again if the petitioner has failed to appear.
3. Learned counsel for the respondent-BPCL states with reference to paragraph-18 of the supplementary counter affidavit filed on 07.05.2018 that the dealership in question has been awarded to the respondent no. 7 and the same has already been commissioned on 27.07.2010. The distributorship agreement was valid upto 26.07.2015 which has further been renewed for a period of five years upto 26.07.2010. The petitioner has not filed any rejoinder and hence the facts stated have not been controverted.
4. In the above view of the matter, this Court is not inclined to interfere in the matter. The writ petition stands dismissed. (Vikash Jain, J) Md. Ibrarul/BT AFR/NAFR NAFR CAV DATE N.A.
