The Supreme Court set aside the Orissa High Court's order allowing a writ petition filed by respondent No.5 for an L.P.G. dealership, holding that the respondent did not possess the required land as of the application deadline of 20.11.2009, as mandated by the Bharat Petroleum Corporation's policy. The Court affirmed the validity of the subsequent advertisement for the dealership under the open category, establishing that eligibility criteria must be strictly adhered to. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the writ petition was dismissed.
