The Allahabad High Court dismissed a PIL challenging NBEMS’s decision to lower NEET-PG 2025 cut-off marks for SC/ST/OBC candidates, including allowing counselling at minus 40 marks. The Court noted that the issue is a policy decision, already rejected by the Delhi High Court and pending before the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court resumed hearing on ADR’s plea challenging Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, amid concerns over voter exclusion and fairness. The Election Commission defended the exercise, arguing that Article 326 and election laws fully empower it to revise rolls to protect electoral integrity.
Akhilesh Yadav said the Samajwadi Party will approach the Supreme Court to verify the accuracy of electoral rolls, alleging manipulation by the BJP. He also pitched for ballot paper elections, questioning the continued use of EVMs in India.
