    Case Summary: WP No. 16653 of 2026 The petition sought suspension of proceedings cancelling the license of Srinivasa Petrol Pump under Rule 152(1)(i) of the Petroleum Rules, 2002. The petitioners argued the license remained valid due to deemed extension from timely renewal application, and cancellation violated natural justice. However, the court found that adequate opportunities were provided through show cause notices (dated 03.06.2025, 09.07.2025, and 12.02.2026) to furnish proof of lawful possession, which the petitioners failed to satisfy. The court held that since a prior writ petition regarding the private dispute between partners was dismissed, and litigious possession cannot constitute lawful possession per DPIIT circular, license cancellation was automatic under Rule 152(1)(i). The petition's prayer for interim suspension was refused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
