New Delhi: In the ongoing hearing of NEET UG controversy, The Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud told the petitioners on 18 July, Thursday that they will have to show that paper leak was well organised to claim re-examination.
“…You have to show us that the leak was so systemic and affected the entire examination so as to warrant the cancellation of the entire exam,” he said during hearing.
The re-examination has to be on concrete footing that the sanctity of entire test was affected, the CJI said, according to a report on legal news website LiveLaw.
Senior advocate Narendar Hooda commenced arguments on behalf of the petitioners. On May 5, the NEET exam was taken by around 23.33 lakh students at 4,750 centers in 571 cities, including 14 overseas cities. Previous affidavits from the Center and NTA claimed that thousands of truthful applicants would suffer if the exam was canceled, despite the lack of proof of pervasive confidentiality violations.
