New Delhi : The Supreme Court is hearing a batch of petitions related to the controversy-ridden medical entrance exam NEET-UG 2024, which was held on May 5. The Supreme Court has said the re-examination can only be done on a concrete footing that sanctity has been lost on a large scale.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud and justices JB Pardiwla and Manoj Misra commenced the crucial hearing, saying that it has "social ramifications". It also asked petitioners to show the paper leak was "systemic" and affected the entire examination, warranting cancellation.
The bench is hearing more than 40 petitions, including those filed by the National Testing Agency (NTA), seeking the transfer of cases pending against it in various high courts on the NEET-UG row to the Supreme Court to avoid multiplicity of litigations.
