                   writ petition is disposed of at the stage of ‘Admission’ with the

                   consent of both the counsels.

                               2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

                   petitioner submits that the petitioner has given a representation

                   to the respondent (HPCL) on 02.09.2025 seeking extension of

                   time to provide an alternative site but the authority till date has

          respondent corporation. Learned counsel submits that in case

          the petitioner gives a fresh representation, the same shall be

          present writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the

          petitioner to give a suitable representation to the respondent-

          corporation (Respondent No. 2 herein) within a period of four

          weeks from today. On such representation being given, the

          authority shall consider the same in accordance with law and

          period of four weeks from the date of receipt of the

          representation by the petitioner. Any order passed shall be
