As per case facts, Sree Ramajayam Service Station, an authorized fuel dealer, faced dealership termination by M/s.Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. after samples of Motor Spirit failed to meet BIS 2017
...specifications due to lower Research Octane Number (RON 90.6 vs minimum 91) and Final Boiling Point. An Arbitrator set aside the termination, rounding off the RON value to 91 based on a 1960 IS Standard and finding malafides. The respondent appealed this award, and a Single Judge set aside the Arbitrator's decision, deeming the reliance on the old standard erroneous and noting the appellant's failure to seek re-testing. The present appeal challenges the Single Judge's order. The question arose whether the Single Judge was justified in setting aside the Arbitrator's award, especially concerning the rounding off of the RON value and the applicability of the BIS 2017 specification. Finally, the court dismissed the appeal, holding that the 1960 IS Standard for rounding off was inapplicable to the BIS 2017 specifications, and thus, the RON value of 90.6 could not be rounded to 91 to meet the required standard. The termination order was upheld, and the Single Judge's decision was affirmed.
