Today, July 8, the Supreme Court will hear petitions seeking cancellation of the NEET-UG 2024 exam due to alleged malpractices and paper leaks. A bench comprising Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, along with Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, began proceedings at 10:30 AM. NEET-UG cases listed as item 31 on today’s docket.
The Central Government and the National Testing Agency have filed affidavits opposing the cancellation, arguing that isolated incidents of malpractice should not invalidate the exam, which affects the futures of numerous honest students.
Petitioners have requested a retest, citing widespread paper leaks that they claim have compromised the exam’s integrity.
