NEET Question Paper Leak Petition Withdrawn, SC Refuses To Intervene

According reports, the petition filed by Anshul Sharma has been withdrawn as the Supreme Court refuses to intervene the NEET question paper leak issue. The petitioner is at liberty to approach the Uttarakhand High Court.

 

According to Indian Express, the Uttarakhand police had conducted a preliminary investigation and arrested 5 persons. The police pointed at the possibility of an alleged nexus with education mafia though the CBSE had ruled out question paper leak.

Yesterday, a petition for cancellation and re-examination of NEET was filed by Anshul Sharma as mentioned by Senior Advocate Sanjay Hegde, before the Bench presided by Chief Justice of India TS Thakur, who agreed to list the matter tomorrow before the Bench presided by Justice Anil R Dave.

The petitioner has sought a probe into the leak of NEET question papers and a status report to be submitted to the court.

What does CBSE has to say?

CBSE has refused the claims about the question paper leak of NEET 2016. CBSE states that, "it was an attempt made by some unscrupulous elements to cheat the candidates on false promises."

Similar circumstances were encountered with AIPMT 2015 (now NEET) where the CBSE had denied the report of question paper leak based on the investigation report by the police. However, the apex court ordered for a re-examination of AIPMT 2015 within a period of 4 weeks.
