Posted on 25th Jun 2024 by rohit kumar

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to give an urgent hearing to a petition seeking a CBI and ED probe into the NEET UG paper leak case. A bench headed by Justice Abhay S Oka refused to issue notice to the central investigating agencies, saying that several petitions, including the demand for cancellation of the exam, are already scheduled for hearing on July 8.

 

The crime is not limited to IPC only

The pending petition states that the crime is not limited to IPC only and the accused should be brought under the stringent provisions of PMLA 2002. In the last hearing, the Supreme Court rejected the demand to stop the admission counseling process.

 

The court said that it would not pass any interim order to stop the counseling process. Meanwhile, the Center on Saturday ordered a CBI inquiry into the allegations of paper leak and other irregularities in the conduct of the NEET UG 2024 exam held in offline OMR mode on May 5 this year.
