The grievance appears to be that the petitioner because of his own default could not appear in the entrance examination held by the respondent- university on 17.07.2025 and now seeks a direction for holding a fresh entrance examination only for the petitioner or he be allowed to appear without crossing the barrier of the entrance examination. 3. The aforesaid prayer cannot be granted by any stretch of imagination. 4. At this juncture, learned counsel for the petitioner prays for withdrawal of this petition. Since, the petition contains prayer and grounds, which are totally untenable in law, this Court allows the prayer of the petitioner for withdrawal, subject to cost of Rs.5000/-, to be deposited in favour of the Punjab & Haryana High Court Bar Association, Chandigarh within 15 days. 5. The petition stands dismissed as withdrawn.
