The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear on July 27 two petitions alleging police excesses against students protesting over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and other examination-related irregularities.
The matter was mentioned before a bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana. Senior advocates Shyam Divan and Gopal Sankaranarayanan urged the court to take up the petitions, informing the bench that both pleas had been filed and numbered by the Supreme Court registry.
