Supreme Court Seeks Responses on NEET-UG 2024 Retest Pleas Amid Alleged Irregularities

The Supreme Court of India has sought responses from those who filed petitions in various high courts for a re-test of NEET-UG 2024 due to alleged question paper leaks and other irregularities. The National Testing Agency (NTA) is seeking to transfer these cases to avoid conflicting judgments. The issue will be further addressed on July 8.

The Supreme Court on Friday requested responses from individuals who petitioned various high courts for a re-test of NEET-UG 2024, citing alleged question paper leaks and other irregularities. The plea, submitted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), aims to consolidate these cases to the top court to prevent conflicting judgments.

A vacation bench consisting of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta noted the submission by NTA's counsel Vardhaman Kaushik, who argued for the transfer of these petitions. The hearing has been scheduled for July 8, alongside other related petitions concerning the NEET-UG controversy.

NTA counsel Kaushik stated the agency wishes to withdraw three transfer petitions relating to the grant of grace marks to 1,563 candidates, as the matter has been resolved. The Supreme Court has permitted the NTA to retract these petitions.
