CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR
For the Petitioner(s)
: Mr. Anwar Hussain, Advocate
For the Resp.-BPCL
: Mr. Mrinal Kanti Roy, Advocate For the Resp.No.1
: Mr. Prabhat Kumar Sinha, CGC
02/11.12.2025 The description of land is as follows:
“Land pertaining to Khata no. 73 under Mauza Gangpacho, Rampur Division, Barkatha Police Station No. 73, District Hazaribag measuring 19.50 decimal.”
2. Prima facie, it appears to be a civil dispute between the petitioner and an Oil Marketing Company i.e., respondent no.2-BPCL.
3. Unless and until the dispute is resolved and a clean land is made available to the respondent no.2, no permission can be given to the petitioner for allocation of rural petroleum outlet.
4. Thus, this Court finds no reason to entertain the present writ petition. Accordingly, the present writ petition is dismissed.
