The affidavit of service filed today is taken on record. 2. The petitioner is aggrieved that he was unable to make payment required for an incumbent candidate for the 2nd State Level Selection Test Examination. 3. Inability arises on account of a technical glitch on every occasion when the petitioner sought to make payment. 4. It is not in dispute that the issue of payment took place at the time of filling up the form sometime in July 2025 and the petitioner approached this Court sometime in November 2025, almost five months after the alleged glitch. 2 5. The petitioner at this belated stage cannot be permitted to participate in the State Level Selection Test Examination as that would mean reopening a cause, which has attained finality. 6.

Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties on priority basis. (Reetobroto Kumar Mitra, J.)
