The Supreme Court on Sept 13th observed that Courts must be circumspect in entertaining an individual grievance relating to a Public Examination as it delays the finalisation of the result, thereby, seriously prejudicing the larger public interest. CJI dismissed SLP filed by a student (petitioner) seeking re-examination of NEET-UG 2024 on the grounds of “inconvenience” caused due to the petitioner’s medical condition of hyperhidrosis during the examination.
The Supreme Court of India Today (Sept 13) sought a response from the National Board of Education (NBE) concerning a writ petition that demands the release of answer keys and question papers for the NEET-PG 2024 examination. The petition also advocates for the adoption of measures to improve transparency in the exam process.
A group of NEET-PG 2024 aspirants filed a review petition in the Supreme Court, raising several critical concerns regarding the examination process. The petition mentioned issues such as the need for greater transparency, the normalization of marks across different batches, and the overall validity of the exam results. This year, the NEET PG 2024 exam was conducted on August 11 wherein around 2,28,540 candidates appeared in two sessions at 416 sites in 170 cities across the country.
The plea to postpone the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test postgraduate examination (NEET PG 2024) will be heard by the Supreme Court on Friday, August 9. The exam is slated to be held on August 11. The apex court agreed to list the case for hearing tomorrow after it was mentioned before Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud by petitioner’s counsel, advocate Anas Tanwir.
