New Delhi, Oct 4: The Supreme Court Monday refused to entertain a plea seeking cancellation of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, undergraduate, held on September 12, 2021 on the ground that the examination was not conducted in a fair and transparent manner.
The apex court dismissed the plea saying that cancellation of the exam cannot be at the cost of lakhs of students.
A bench headed by Justice L Nageswara Rao, which stopped short of imposing Rs 5 lakh cost, noted that the petitioner seeks setting aside the NEET-UG Exam and directing the National Testing Agency to conduct the exam afresh.
The basis is that CBI has registered 3 FIR’s wherein it has stated that there has been impersonation of the candidates, the SC noted. (PTI)
