New Delhi, Aug 29: The Supreme Court on Monday declared that it will not interfere with the NEET-PG 2022 counselling, which is slated to start on September 1.
This oral remark was made by a bench made up of Justices DY Chandrachud and Hima Kohli in response to a lawyer’s mention of a NEET PG-related issue and request for clarification.
“Counselling is to start from 1st September. Kindly list it before that”, the counsel submitted.
“We’ll not interfere. Let the NEET PG counselling go through. Don’t stall it anymore”, Justice Chandrachud said.
“We cannot put the students in jeopardy,” the judge added.
The subject that was brought up was a writ petition contesting the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences’ (NBE) decision to withhold the NEET-PG 2022 answer key and question paper. The petitioners claimed there were significant differences between the test-takers’ results.
Doctors who have enrolled with the State Medical Council after completing their MBBS programme have filed the plea. Their complaint is that the NBE is refusing to reevaluate them despite the significant discrepancies in their NEET-PG 2022 scores.
