Any order for conducting #NEETUG 2024 afresh has to be on the concrete footing that the sanctity of the entire exam was affected, the #SupremeCourt said today (July 18).
The judges further ask about the spread of #NEET question papers.
"The idea of somebody doing this is not to make a national charade of #NEETexam. People were doing it for money. Therefore anybody who is making money out of it won't circulate it mass scale," said CJI Chandrachud.
The top court further discusses 2 possibilities of the NEET paper leak.
"One the paper gets leaked before the custody of banks. That means, it happened before May 3.
Second, the leak happened when the papers left the banks and were bound for the centre," said CJI.
On July 11, the top court had adjourned till July 18 the hearing on the pleas, including those seeking cancellation of NEET-UG 2024, re-test and a probe into alleged malpractices, as responses of the Centre and the NTA were yet to be received by some parties.
More than 23.33 lakh students had taken the test on May 5 at 4,750 centres in 571 cities, including 14 overseas.
