This is a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India wherein the writ petitioner has prayed for the following reliefs: "i. Issue a writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent no.4 to permit the petitioner provisionally for appearing in the counseling in pursuant to the result of National Eligibility-Cum-Entrance Test [(NEET) (UG)]-2024-Reg. declared by the respondent no.2 in which the petitioner has qualified as per rank for B.A.M.S. Course under the category of URPW in the college of respondent no.4 for appearing in the counseling on 16.12.2024 and 26.12.2024 in which the petitioner has not been permitted due to non-opening of the MCC.NIC.IN online website of B.H.U. Varanasi from where the disability certificate will be certified by fixing any specific date by this Hon'ble Court for counseling. ii. Issue a writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent no.4 to consider the notary affidavit of the petitioner dated 27.12.2024 for giving permission to the petitioner in appearing in the counseling in any date which may be fixed by this Hon'ble Court which was earlier not held on the scheduled date of counseling fixed on 17.12.2024 and 28.12.2024 due to non-opening of the MCC.NIC.IN online website of B.H.U. Varanasi from where the disability certificate will be certified." 3. Upon perusal of the record, it appears that the portal upon which the disability certificate is to be uploaded for verification is not working. 4. Counsel appearing on behalf of the Banaras Hindu University has also admitted the aforesaid fact. 5. In light of the above, and due to the difficulties of the portal not working currently, this Court is of the view that the petitioner should approach the Banaras Hindu University physically and have the disability certificate verified and certified. The University is directed to verify the same without there being any requirement of uploading the same on the website which is currently not working. The Medical Board of the University shall carry out the aforesaid verification in accordance with law. The entire process should be completed within a period of four weeks from date. 5. With the aforesaid directions, the writ petition is disposed of. Order Date :- 10.4.2025 Kuldeep (Dr. Y. K. Srivastava, J.) (Shekhar B. Saraf, J.)
