Vijay Yadav Vs. Dealer Selection Board and ors.

Court: Patna

Decided on: May-09-2006

Aftab Alam, J.1. There is a single appellant in each of the three analogous appeals. All of them had filed separate writ petitions challenging the grant of retail outlet dealership of Indian Oil Corporation Limited at Daudnagar, district Aurangabad in favour of one Jayant Kumar Thakur who is the common respondent in all the three appeals. A learned Single Judge dismissed the writ petitions by a common judgment and order, dated 01.12.2003. These three internal court appeals are preferred against that judgment.2.
