NEET Row: SC issues notices to private parties basing on NTA pleas
Deccan ChronicleNEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday issued notices to private parties on a clutch of pleas filed by the National Testing Agency seeking transfer of cases pending against it in various high courts on the NEET-UG row to the top court to avoid multiplicity of litigations. The NTA had submitted that several pleas seeking cancellation of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test–Under Graduate, 2024 over allegations of question paper leak and other malpractices are pending in several high courts. The NTA also urged the top court to stay the pending proceedings in various high courts. In an additional affidavit filed in the apex court on July 10, the Centre had said data analytics of the results of NEET-UG 2024 was conducted by IIT Madras which found there was neither any indication of "mass malpractice" nor a localised set of candidates benefiting from it and scoring abnormally high marks.
