Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the selection process for the LPG distributorship conducted by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. was valid, as the appellant was selected based on a fair evaluation of qualifications and experience. The Court found that the High Court's decision to quash the distributorship was erroneous, as it failed to appreciate the merits of the appellant's application and the scoring criteria used. The Court reversed the High Court's judgment and restored the appellant's distributorship license, emphasizing adherence to the selection guidelines.
