Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the writ petition challenging the cancellation of the dealership selection by Indian Oil Corporation, citing the violation of the undertaking in the application regarding income disclosure. The Court emphasized that the incorrect information provided by the appellant constituted a breach of eligibility criteria, as per the Corporation's guidelines. The decision of the Allahabad High Court was affirmed, reinforcing the principle that misrepresentation in application forms can lead to disqualification.
