The petitioner was interested to stake his claim for dealership of retail outlet petrol pump of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited and submitted his claim, as he was desirous of starting outlet and for that purpose, the petitioner wants to take his claim as a candidate belonging to reserved category and was in need of such certificate issued by the competent authority.

Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the issue insofar as incorrect nomenclature and directions to the authorities to issue fresh certificate with correct nomenclature is no more res integra in view of various decisions of this Court. Reliance is placed on the order of this Court dated 21st February, 2019 in Writ Petition No. 2457 of 2019.

The petitioner has submitted on line application to the Sub Divisional Officer, Nanded on 9th February, 2019 for issuance of fresh certificate with correct nomenclature.
