SC refuses urgent hearing on plea seeking cancellation of #NEET exam

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today refused to give an urgent hearing on a plea, seeking cancellation of the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) examination, conducted on May 7, 2017. A vacation bench comprising Justices L Nageswar Rao and Navin Sinha said the Madras High Court is hearing the matter and had already stayed the publication of NEET results. The top court also asked the petitioner NGO Sankalp Charitable Trust, to mention the matter before it next week, if it wanted the court to hear the matter. The question papers of NEET examination, which was conducted on May 7 in Bihar, were also leaked allegedly and thereby, the examination should be cancelled, the petitioner claimed in its petition. The NGO also sought the apex court’s intervention and a direction for a thorough Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the entire matter.
