d) Grant interim relief allowing the Petitioner to appear for the FMGE, subject to the condition that her result may be withheld until the completion of the Eligibility Certificate requirements or any other conditions as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit. 2.

The grievance articulated by the petitioner in the present petition is that petitioner has completed his MBBS from a foreign university and therefore, as required, he has to undertake an examination called FMGE which is conducted by respondent no.3. He submits that the FMGE application process requires the submission of NEET (UG) score card as a mandatory document as outlined in the information bulletin issued by the respondent no.3 for the FMGE January, 2025 session. 3.

He submits that since the petitioner had lost the score card, therefore, the present petition was filed seeking a direction to the respondents to provide the score card to the petitioner. He submits that respondent no.1 has filed an affidavit and in Para 16 thereof, the particulars of the petitioner's application as well as other details are mentioned which suffice the requirement of FMGE application.

4.

In view of the above, respondent no.3 is directed to treat the details given in Para 16 of the affidavit filed by the respondent no.1 as score card of NEET (UG)-2019 Examination and the requirement on part of the petitioner to furnish score card in the application is dispensed with. 5.

The petition is disposed of in the above terms. 6.

Pending application stands disposed of.
