New Delhi, July 2

A three-judge Bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud will hear on July 8 petitions seeking scrapping of the NEET-UG 2024 Examination for alleged paper leak and irregularities.

According to the cause list for July 8, uploaded on the top court’s website, 26 petitions were listed before the CJI-led Bench, which also included Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Misra.

So far, the SC has refused to stay the counselling of the successful candidates.

As many as 67 students got a perfect score of 720 out of 720 and some of the Rank 1 holders had the same sequence of roll numbers, which raised suspicion of malpractice and irregularities. A majority of them were from the same examination centres.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
