Analysis:

1. The petitioner's counsel highlighted the "Sabka Viswas" Scheme, noting its notification on 21.08.2019 and the cut-off date set at 30.06.2019. The petitioner's adjudication order was issued on 14.06.2019, falling before the cut-off date. Despite no appeal filed by the cut-off date or within the available limitation period, the petitioner's case was not covered due to the Scheme's delayed notification.

This recognition suggests that the court found merit in the petitioner's argument regarding the adverse impact of the delayed notification of the Scheme on their entitlement.
