KRISHNA DEVI vs INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed the interim order concerning the appointment of a Retail Outlet Dealer by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. The Court found that the selection process was flawed as it did not involve proper inspection of the land offered by the applicants, and the merit list appeared to be prepared for reasons other than merit. Consequently, the Court stayed the operation of the Single Judge's order, preventing both parties from operating the retail outlet until the final outcome of the appeals.
