Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, while hearing a batch of petitions regarding the re-examination of NEET-UG 2024, remarked that the leak of the question paper is an "admitted fact." He stated that before deciding to hold a re-examination, "we must be conscious of the extent of the leak as we are dealing with 23 lakh students." The court stated that the matter will be decided on the basis of three parameters. "Whether a retest should be conducted is based on settled parameters: the court has to see whether the alleged breach took place at a systemic level, whether the breach is of a nature that affects the integrity of the entire exam process, and whether it is possible to segregate the beneficiaries of the fraud from the untainted students," the court noted. Alakh Pandey said he is very satisfied with the Apex Court's action. The court will determine on Thursday whether the paper leak was a systemic failure or not. However, he highlighted that the Supreme Court is listening to all the concerns of the students and will then give a final judgment. Listen in.
