The Supreme Court of India took up the transfer petition filed by the National Testing Agency concerning the multiple writ petitions challenging the NEET 2024 exam.
A bench comprising Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta presided over the hearing. The next hearing is scheduled for July 8.
The NTA has requested that all petitions filed across various High Courts regarding the NEET 2024 examination be consolidated and heard by the Supreme Court.
This move aims to streamline the judicial process and address the issues comprehensively. Notices have been issued to petitioners in different High Courts who have filed these petitions.
A writ petition filed by NEET-UG candidates seeks a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the alleged instances of paper leaks and malpractices during the NEET-UG 2024 exam conducted on May 5.
The petitioners have highlighted significant concerns, including the mass-scale paper leak and manipulations at certain exam centers.
The petitioners have pointed to suspicious activities at an exam center in Godhra, Gujarat, where students from distant states like Odisha, Karnataka, and Jharkhand allegedly paid large sums of money to clear NEET by choosing this remote center.
Gujarat police have registered a case involving Tushar Bhatt, a geography teacher and NEET center superintendent, who is accused of facilitating the malpractice.
