@zubairoliyat,

What is your controller name? The name of your controller file must begin with a capital letter ( https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/controllers.html?highlight=class%20name#let-s-try-it-hello-world ).

The error is too generic and does not tell you exact problem. What you need is to find out what is the real issue. If your site is serving a Internal Server Error, this can be caused by a number of things, such as:

Errors in .htaccess files
Server permission
Server timeout
Script timeout
Or some other Web Server Issues

Normally, a permissions issue on the file (or files) would be one cause of the 500 Internal Server Error. The simple solution is to run chmod 644 on the problem file(s) or chmod 755 on the directories.

Code:
$ sudo chmod -R 777 /"your files location"

The best way to debug the error depends upon the server and what's actually running at the time. Consider some debugging tips to help diagnose and fix common causes of this problem.
