Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of allotment of a Petrol Pump reserved for women candidates, specifically examining the eligibility criteria set forth in the advertisement issued by Indian Oil Corporation. The Court held that the selection process conducted by the Dealers Selection Board was valid and that the fifth respondent was eligible for the allotment despite the appellant's claims regarding her qualifications. The appeal against the Punjab and Haryana High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was therefore rejected, affirming the selection of the fifth respondent.
