During the hearing on Thursday, the Supreme Court also said that until there is strong evidence, they cannot order a re-examination. The Chief Justice DY Chandrachud-led bench heard the NEET UG paper leak case.

Earlier, on July 11, the bench of the Supreme Court had adjourned the hearing of this case. Notably, about 40 petitions have been filed in the Supreme Court regarding the NEET UG paper leak case. All petitions have demanded a re-examination.

On the other hand, the central government has taken the stance in the case not to cancel the examination.

The central government had submitted an affidavit to the Supreme Court stating that the NEET UG paper leak issue is limited to only one or two places. It asserted that not all places experienced a leak. Therefore, imposing the burden of a re-examination on the 23 lakh candidates who took the NEET UG paper based solely on apprehensions should not be justified.
