On Tuesday (17th November 2020), a notice was issued by the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court. The Bench issued a notice to National Testing Agency over the declaration of the NEET result.
This result was declared without deciding on objections to a couple of questions in the examination. The results of NEET which is an exam for entrance to medical colleges were declared on 16th October.
This was heard by a bench of Justice Rajnish Kumar. He issued the notice on a writ petition moved by Saliha Khan and others.
The next hearing of this petition is scheduled for November 23.
The petitioners said that the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) was held in September as per the plea. The plea also stated that the objections to questions were invited through a notice on September 27, 2020.
In response to the notice, the petitioners deposited the required fee and submitted objections to two questions. However, the agency announced the result on October 16, 2020 without deciding on their objections as per the petitioners.
