As per the contents of the writ petition, the petitioner took admission in B.Sc B.Ed in the year 2019 and he participated in the second year examination in the year 2021 wherein his result was declared on 11.03.2022. Even after expiry of more than three years, the petitioner did not bother to appear in the third year examination and the explanation given by the petitioner was that on account of ill-health of his father, he could not appear in the subsequent years for taking third year examination. Now the petitioner wants the benefit of the order passed by Hon’ble Apex Court in Re-cognizance For Extension of Limitation. The order passed by the Hon’ble Apex Court is not applicable in the facts and circumstances of the present case. The order was passed by the Hon’ble Apex Court during the COVID 19 Pandemic and it was over by the end of the year 2021 and there was no reason available to the petitioner to take shelter of COVID-19 in the subsequent years after i.e. 2022-2025. The petitioner was sleeping over the matter since last more than three years and has now woke up in the year 2025. The relief sought in this petition cannot be granted by this Court in the writ jurisdiction contained under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. [2025:RJ-JP:16912] (3 of 3) [CW-5887/2025] 4.
