New Delhi, Oct 4 (TIWN) The Supreme Court on Monday declined to entertain a plea seeking cancellation of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test, undergraduate, (NEET-UG), which was held on September 12, contending it was not a fair and transparent examination.

Stressing that the court is not going to interfere with an exam on the basis of few FIRs, the bench said: "How can the exam be cancelled?"  Counsel submitted that the CBI has registered three FIRs and examination papers were leaked on WhatsApp. The bench noted that in the FIRs, there has been impersonation of the candidates.  Warning it would impose costs for filing plea of this nature, the bench told the petitioner's counsel: "Why should the Petitioner pay? It is the lawyer who gives suggestions of filing such petitions under Article 32." As counsel representing the petitioner prayed that costs should not be imposed, the bench, which seemed inclined to impose costs of Rs 5 Lakh, did not impose the cost in the matter.
