In a significant legal development, over 50 successful NEET-UG candidates from Gujarat, including several top rankers, have approached the Supreme Court seeking to halt the Centre and National Testing Agency from canceling the contentious exam.

The petition demands a thorough investigation into claims of malpractice, including paper leaks and impersonation during the May 5 exam, urging the Union Education Ministry to enforce strict actions.

This fresh plea arrives as the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, prepares to address 26 related petitions calling for a re-test and in-depth probe into the exam marred by allegations of misconduct.
