The Supreme Court is investigating claims of a NEET UG paper leak, instructing IIT to review a disputed Physics question. The Court is examining whether the bre
The Supreme Court stated on Monday that while several of the accused detained in the NEET UG case had previously stated that a paper leak may have occurred late on May 5th, there appears to be insufficient proof at this time to support the exam’s cancellation nationwide.
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) director was further instructed by the Supreme Court to constitute a committee consisting of three experts “to formulate an opinion on the correct option” to a multiple-choice question in the Physics test where marks were given for two options. By noon today, the SC has requested a report on the right response.
According to Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud who was presiding over a three-Judge Bench, the initial statements seem to indicate that the paper leak took place on the night of May 4. He said that the concern was whether the breach was limited to only Hazaribagh and Patna or had spread to other states too.
CJI Chandrachud stated further that the conclusions should be based on data as to whether the leak took place in the morning (of May 5) or the night of May 4, or whether it took place before lodging (the question papers) in the bank vaults.
Dismissing the possibility of a large-scale paper leak, the Centre and the National Testing Agency (NTA) have pointed out the breach was confined to Hazaribagh and Patna, and it took place on the morning of May 5 which is the exam date. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta represented the Centre.
Senior Advocate Narender Hooda, appearing for some of the petitioners, put forward the claim that the leak took place before May 5.
