JUDGMENT

Dated this the 23^rd day of June, 2022 The petitioner had submitted an application for NEET-PG, 2022 under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) category. Candidates applying under EWS category have to produce an Income and Asset Certificate in the prescribed form, issued by the competent authority/Tahasildar. Accordingly, the petitioner submitted an application for Income and Asset Certificate before the 4^th respondent. However, the 4^th respondent refused to issue the certificate on the premise that her family owns a residential flat having plinth area of more than 1000 sq.ft. Immediately thereupon the petitioner attempted to edit her online application so as to change the category from EWS to General. As the system did not permit the correction, petitioner sent online request to the NBEMS, requesting to correct the mistake. In its reply, the NBEMS directed the petitioner to carry out the correction when the edit windows are opened for the purpose. On enquiry, petitioner came to know that the edit windows were kept open from 29.03.2022 to 07.04.2022, which period was already over. The petitioner appeared for the exam conducted on 21.05.2022 and secured rank No.1159. Based
