  The Casimir effect for parallel plates in the presence of compactified
universal extra dimensions within the frame of Kaluza-Klein theory is analyzed.
Having regularized and discussed the expressions of Casimir force in the limit,
we show that the nature of Casimir force is repulsive if the distance between
the plates is large enough and the higher-dimensional spacetime is, the greater
the value of repulsive Casimir force between plates is. The repulsive nature of
the force is not consistent with the experimental phenomena.
