BHAGWAN DASS vs KAMAL ABROL .

The Supreme Court upheld the trial court's decree declaring the selection of respondents 1 and 5 for LPG dealership as illegal under the eligibility criteria set forth in the notice dated 14.8.85. The Court emphasized that the eligibility criteria, including residency and income limits, must be strictly adhered to, and found that respondent no. 1 did not meet the residency requirement. Consequently, the Court affirmed the trial court's decision to set aside the letter of intent issued to respondent no. 1, thereby allowing the appellants' claim for the dealership.
