Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the allotment of a retail outlet dealership by Indian Oil Corporation Limited, specifically focusing on the eligibility criteria under the dealership policy. The Court held that the Oil Selection Board's decision to cancel the letter of intent issued to Prithvi Singh due to age misrepresentation was invalid, as the High Court had previously reinstated it after proper consideration. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling, emphasizing the need for adherence to procedural fairness in administrative decisions regarding public contracts.
