The petitioner's application for allotment of an industrial plot was rejected as his project was not found viable. The averments in the petition, do not lay any foundation for the plea that rejection was in any manner illegal, arbitrary or contrary to any criteria that may have been framed by the respondent. Apart from alleging that as his project is feasible it could not be rejected, the petitioner has failed to place on record any material to establish that allotments were made without an eligibility criteria or to such persons who did not fulfill the eligibility criteria. It is true that before proceeding to allot plots, a public authority, is required to frame an eligibility criteria and thereafter assess merits and demerits of applicants, on the basis of the eligibility criteria, so framed. The respondent has, in its written statement, specifically averred that the petitioner's project was found not suitable. The petitioner has not placed on record any material to even prima facie suggest as to in what manner the assessment of suitability is illegal or arbitrary. As a consequence, the petitioner is not entitled to any relief with respect to the allotment of a plot.
