Petitioner, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that there is a whole lot of doubt about percentage of the hearing disability suffered by the Petitioner and, in these circumstances, we do not think that the order, to which an exception has been taken in this petition, which order is of the date of 16 February 2022, can be said to be erroneous. Of course, this order dated 16 February 2022, declaring the Petitioner to be not eligible for seeking admission to BDS Course, has been passed much before the disability certificate was issued by Ali Yavar Jung Hospital. But, as stated earlier, even the disability certificates relied upon by the Petitioner do not unequivocally state about the percentage of hearing disability suffered by the Petitioner. That apart, the certificate of disability, which was required to be submitted by a student like the Petitioner, as per the Information Brochure, was only from a designated centre and the certificates of disability, which were submitted by the Petitioner at the time when he was found to be ineligible, were not issued admittedly by a designated authority. The designated authority for issuing a disability certificate was Ali Yavar Jung Hospital in case of Mumbai candidates and the disability certificate in the present case was obtained by the Petitioner from this designated centre on 8 March 2022, by which time, the cut-off date of Round-1 Admission Process had already been over. The Petitioner was required to submit disability certificate obtained from the said designated centre on or before the cut-off date of 8 February 2022, which he had not done in the present case.
