SWAPAN KUMAR PAL vs ACHINTYA KUMAR NAYAK .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the grant of a Modified Rationing (MR) Shop dealership in West Bengal, noting that the process was not governed by any specific statute. The Court held that the Division Bench of the High Court erred in reversing the Single Judge's decision by considering irrelevant factors such as educational qualifications, instead of focusing on the ownership of a godown, which was a critical criterion for eligibility. The Court ultimately allowed the appeal, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the established criteria for dealership allocation.
