PER COURT :- 1.

The petitioner is objecting to the decision taken by the Petroleum Company issuing a letter of intent in favour of respondent no.3. During the process of selection, the petitioner scored 89.54% marks, whereas, the selected candidate scored 92.01% marks. The respondent No.3 possesses higher educational qualification than that of the petitioner and, as such, he has been awarded more marks. The petitioner contends that land offered by respondent no.3 is not suitable for establishment of petroleum outlet since it does not meet the requirements prescribed by the Petroleum

WP 4826.odt Company under the advertisement. Second objection raised is in respect of existence of High Tension electricity line passing through the plot of the respondent no.3. Both the objections have been turned down by the grievance committee prescribed by the petroleum company. It is specifically noted by the Committee that, land offered by respondent No.3 meets the required norms. Apart from that, it is within the jurisdiction of the Committee to consider the land of lesser size, if found suitable. So far as objection regarding passing of High Tension electricity line is concerned, the field verification Committee did not find the objection to be correct. A reasoned order passed by the Grievance Committee constituted by the Petroleum Company does not appear to be erroneous. In exercise of extra ordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, no interference is called for. Petition is devoid of substance. Hence, stands rejected. ( V.K. JADHAV, J. ) ( R. M. BORDE, J. ) ...
