Delhi Court Rejects Plea to Defer Charges in NEET-UG 2026 Paper Leak Case
A Delhi court rejected a plea to defer arguments on charges in the NEET-UG 2026 question paper leak case, ruling that trial proceedings should continue despite ongoing investigations. The court clarified that under the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, investigations can extend beyond the two-month period without prohibiting further probe or supplementary chargesheets. The court noted that failure to complete investigations within this period only grants statutory bail rights to the accused, not a halt to the trial.
