NEET ordinance gets its first challenge in court
New Delhi: The ordinance that deferred by a year the Supreme Court order to conduct the National Eligibility Entrance Test from 2016 is back in court. Health activist Anand Rai, known for exposing the Vyapam scam—an admission and recruitment scandal in Madhya Pradesh—on Thursday filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the centre’s decision to promulgate the ordinance. The centre had given an undertaking and fulfilled criteria for a unified NEET, and yet within four weeks, it passed the ordinance, the petition said, calling the ordinance “arbitrary”. “This would go on to show mala fide and ill intent towards the admission of students who will ultimately suffer because of this see-saw approach by the centre,” the petition stated. Meanwhile, Sankalp Charitable Trust, on whose public interest litigation the apex court passed the order, also said that it is preparing to file a petition challenging the ordinance.
