We have heard learned Counsel for the parties. The petitioner has made an application for allotment of petroleum outlet. The process was undertaken as per the Rules and Regulations of the Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. It appears that the contention of the petitioner is that qua the petitioner, the process could not be taken forward as the petitioner had not submitted certain documents as there was deficiency in the petitioners documents. It is contended by the petitioner that in the OnLine process the documents could not be uploaded and therefore, the said documents are required to be filed manually. The respondent has acknowledged receipt of such documents by its letter dated 14 September 2024.
