As per reports, the Hon’ble Supreme Court has given the next hearing date on October 29, 2021, for the petition filed by NTA regarding the NEET Result 2021. The case that has resulted in a delay in the declaration of the NEET 2021 result is now expected to get a final closure and fair order on this date.
Recently, the Bombay HC had issued an order to NTA regarding the re-exam of two candidates who received a jumbled question paper and answer booklet combination on September 12, 2021. This order also put a stay on the release of the NEET 2021 results until the examination is over for these two candidates. However, NTA responded by appealing against the decision in the apex court.
NTA contended that delaying the result for two students might do injustice with 16 lakh candidates awaiting the result. NTA further said that this kind of order might set a wrong example in the eyes of the students in future and prompt them to take unfair advantage.
Hence, NTA sought the intervention of the Hon’ble Supreme Court for a fair decision that benefits everyone. As of now, the hearing date has been released and the case is accepted by the apex court, Candidates and NTA are hopeful for a positive decision.
