Case brief
What is this about?
Amitabh Panda v. Union of India and others; F. M. A. 701 of 2018 (CAN 1 of 2017, old CAN 11203 of 2017); appeal against Single Bench order dated 21.03.2017 dismissing writ petition; BPCL; Rajiv Gandhi Liquidified Petroleum Gas Vitrak (RGLPGV) Scheme; LPG distributorship application rejected 25.05.2016; financial eligibility Rs.4.00 lacs bank balance; field inspection 20.07.2016; hand-written list of bank accounts dated 25.07.2016; certified bank statements required; no interference; appeal dismissed 24.04.2025; no order as to costs; Rajasekhar Mantha, J.; Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.
What did the court decide?
This Court cannot believe a hand-written document unless certified statements of the concerned bank have been produced before the Authority, the Single Bench, or this Court; the appellant produced none, so the hand-written list of bank accounts does not establish the required Rs.4.00 lacs financial eligibility.
