Mrinmoy Maity vs Chhanda Koley

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of a writ petition challenging the approval of an LPG distributorship granted to the appellant. The Court held that the respondent No.1, having participated in the selection process and being unsuccessful, lacked locus standi to challenge the approval. The Court further clarified that the guidelines for selection of LPG distributors could not be applied retrospectively, thus upholding the appellant's entitlement to the distributorship despite the respondent's claims regarding the land offered.
