The Supreme Court will hear today a petition seeking cancellation of the NEET-UG 2024 exam and holding of a re-exam over an alleged paper leak.
A vacation bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Ahsanuddin Amanullah will hear.
The petition was filed by Shivangi Mishra and nine others on June 1 before the declaration of the results (Shivangi Mishra and others vs.National Testing Agency and others Diary No.25656/2024). After the declaration of the results, few more petitions have been filed in the Supreme Court questioning the decision of the National Testing Agency to award grace marks to several candidates. However, those petitions, which were filed after the declaration of results, are not listed today.
On May 17, while considering another petition seeking similar reliefs, the Supreme Court had refused to stay the declaration of the results of the NEET-UG exam. Though the bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud issued notice on that petition and posted the matter in July, the bench stated that the results of the exams held on a pan-India basis cannot be stayed.
