Delhi High Court Dismisses Petition Challenging NEET-UG Re-Exam and NTAPreviousNext

The Delhi High Court dismissed a petition by two NEET-UG aspirants seeking the scrapping of the National Testing Agency (NTA) and an investigation into alleged irregularities in the NEET re-examination. The court noted the petition mixed personal and public relief claims, which it could not entertain. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta denied any tampering with OMR sheets or malpractice, describing allegations as unsubstantiated. The court emphasized it would consider individual grievances but not collective petitions. Separately, the Punjab and Haryana High Court upheld expert-reviewed answer keys after examining challenges.
