However, it is admitted that an examination was conducted in 2024-25 in which the petitioner had failed to clear the examination. It is the contention that he had also filed a Writ Petition sought to reduce the pass percentage in respect of the examination held during 2024-25. If such orders have been passed, he would be entitled to SET.
