He later found that students who scored as low as 108 marks in NEET were allotted seats under the management quota. Thus, instant petition was filed under Article 226 praying to issue a writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to give admission to the petitioner in any one of the Medical College under the Management Quota based on the petitioner&#8217;s NEET Examinations score.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court reaffirmed the stand of the counsel for respondent stating that it is not possible to direct the admission of the petitioner for any medical course for the academic year 2021-22 as the writ petition was filed in April 2022 .<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court also remarked for the marks obtained by him was entitled to get admission in a medical course under management quota but could not because of online glitches. If the respondents adopted a dual mode of counselling, i.e., both physical and online, the situation could have been avoided and also,If the respondents had given the petitioner reasonable time to register himself in the portal, then probably, he could have made it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Placing reliance on <i>Asha<\/i> v. <i>PTBD Sharma University of Health Sciences<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/0082nAKv\">(2012) 7 SCC 389<\/a> and <i>S Krishna Sradha<\/i> v. <i>State of Andhra Pradesh<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/CfIYB838\">(2020) 17 SCC 465<\/a>, the Court noted that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Court must do complete justice between the parties, particularly, where the legitimate right of the Appellant stands frustrated because of inaction or inappropriate action on the part of the concerned Respondents and in an appropriate case the Court may award the compensation to such a meritorious candidate who for no fault of his\/her has to lose one full academic year and who could not be granted any relief of admission in the same academic year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Further reliance was placed on <i>Action Committee Unaided Recognized Private Schools<\/i> v. <i>Justice for All<\/i>, Special Leave to Appeal (C) No. 4351 of 2021, decided on 08-10-2021 to emphasize that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">the digital divide has produced stark inequality in terms of access to education.
