On 16.09.2011, the 1^st respondent Corporation has issued a notification for selecting dealers of Petroleum retail outlet. The petitioner was awarded highest mark and stood as first candidate to be allotted the Petroleum retail outlet. While the matter stood thus, the 2^nd respondent challenged the selection by way of Writ Petition in W.P.No.14098 of 2012 and this Court by order dated 29.11.2012 directed the 1^st respondent to consider the representation of the 2^nd respondent and pass appropriate orders. While the matter stood thus, Central Government has reviewed their policy in awarding marks system and allotment of retail outlet was made as per the drawing of lot. The 1^st respondent started following that procedure. However, in respect of the retail outlet which was called for by notification dated 16.09.2011, the 1^st respondent has abandoned the project. Thus, the selection was cancelled by the 1^st respondent. The factum of cancellation of the re-interview was communicated by the 1^st respondent in Ref.No.CBERO/BCT/KVN/RET dated 06.03.2015. The said letter has been challenged by the petitioner in this Writ petition.

¶19

As of today, the notification and the allotment of dealership petroleum outlet has been withdrawn by the 1^st respondent. Even the reinterview, if conducted as demanded by the petitioner, it will not serve any purpose as there is no retail outlet to be allotted to that area. Neither the petitioner nor the 2^nd respondent would be getting any retail outlet from the 1^st respondent. Therefore, nothing survives for adjudication in this Writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
