Supreme Court Dismisses PIL Seeking NEET-PG 2026 Re-Exam, Imposes Cost on Petitioner
The Supreme Court dismissed a PIL seeking a nationwide re-examination of the NEET-PG 2026 exam after a power outage disrupted testing at two centres in Jaipur. The court imposed a Rs 25,000 cost on the petitioner and advocate, citing misuse of legal processes, and said it would ask the Bar Council of India to consider action against the lawyer. The National Board of Examinations stated the disruption affected only about 2,500 candidates, with a re-exam scheduled for September 5, while most candidates were unaffected.
