On a specific query of the Court, Advocate Veena Thadani for the Association stated that the petroleum corporations were arrayed as parties because they had supplied cylinders for commercial purposes under the garb of domestic use.
The Bench of Justices AA Sayed and Abhay Ahuja opined that the grievance did not take into consideration the fact that some outlets operating out of homes may be using domestic cylinders which had been legally provided to them.
Unsatisfied by the justification, the Bench directed the petitioner to remove the two public sector undertakings as parties as it was not inclined to pass any “blanket orders”.
