Heard learned cousnel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents no. 1 and 2 and Shri Sudip Seth, learned Senior Advocate assisted by Shri Atul Kumar Dwivedi, learned counsel for the respondent no. 3. With the consent of learned counsel appearing for the contesting parties, the writ petition is being finally decided. The petitioners claim to be visually impaired and are before this Court claiming that despite they having been granted admission with the respondent no. 3 University their application for allotment of hostel room has still not been considered. Responding to that, Shri Sudip Seth, learned Senior Advocate appearing for the respondents states on the basis of instructions that hostel rooms are under maintenance and the maintenance work is expected to be completed within three weeks from today and thereafter the applications of the petitioners and other would be considered and final order would be passed. Responding to that learned cousnel for the petitioners states that as no room has been allotted to the petitioners, at least they may be permitted to pursue classes online. Considering the aforesaid more particularly when the petitioners have still not been allotted hostel rooms and they are visually impaired as such the writ petition is disposed of by directing that their application for allotment of rooms shall be considered as soon as the maintenance of the hostel rooms are completed i.e. within three weeks from today. The application of the petitioners for pursuing online class would also be considered for which it would be open to the petitioners to submit an application within three days from today. In case such an application is made then the respondent no. 3 would consider the same within next five days sympathetically. Order Date :- 22.12.2023/J.K.
