Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the cancellation of the appellant's dealership by Indian Oil Corporation, citing the principles of fair administrative action. The Court found that the appellant had misrepresented his employment status, which justified the cancellation under the relevant guidelines for dealership selection. The Court held that the Oil Selection Board's earlier decision was no longer valid, thus supporting the High Court's order to set aside the dealership granted to the respondent No. 5 as well.
