The Supreme Court addressed multiple high-stakes issues on Friday, June 14. The apex court sought responses from petitioners who had approached various high courts for a re-test of NEET-UG 2024 over alleged question paper leaks. The National Testing Agency filed a petition to centralize these cases to avoid multiple litigations.
In another significant development, amid ongoing controversies surrounding NEET-UG, the Court called for responses from the Centre and the NTA regarding a plea for a CBI investigation into the question paper leakage allegations.
The Court also asked the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to provide instructions on a plea filed by activist Mahesh Raut, who is seeking interim bail to attend rituals for his deceased grandmother. Additionally, the SC upheld an order for the demolition of a Pracheen Shiv Mandir located at Geeta Colony near the Yamuna floodplains.
