1. This writ petition under Article 226 of Constitution of India has been filed, inter alia, for the following relief:-
"(i) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari and set aside the impugned order dated 08.11.2024 passed by respondent No. 4, whereby the Letter of Intent (LOI) issued to the petitioner for distributorship of non-domestic LPG has been withdrawn. (ii) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing respondent Nos. 2 and 3 to take appropriate action on the request of the petitioner for setting aside the order dated 08.11.2024 passed by respondent No. 4 and grant her further three months time to commence the construction work of the godown."
2. The dispute in the present writ petition is purely contractual in nature.
3. We do not find any mala fide or arbitrary action by the respondent-authority in cancellation/withdrawal of 'Letter of Intent' issued to the petitioner in the year 2022.
4. Upon perusal of the facts, it is clear that the petitioner has not complied with the conditions as provided in the 'Letter of Intent' and no progress has been made by the petitioner with regard to the
same. It is noted that several reminders were sent by the authority to the petitioner, but no proper and satisfactory reply has been given by the petitioner.
5. In the light of the same, we do not find any reason to interfere in the action of the respondent-authority.
6. The petition is, accordingly, dismissed. Order Date :- 17.3.2025 Sazia (Kshitij Shailendra, J) (Shekhar B. Saraf, J) Digitally signed by :- SAZIA AQUIL High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
