Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the Delhi High Court that no NEET-UG re-test OMR sheet was tampered with, rejecting allegations of large-scale manipulation. The court dismissed a PIL seeking additional marks and NTA reforms, saying mixed individual and collective relief could not be sought together. One petitioner was allowed to pursue OMR tampering allegations separately.
New Delhi: Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the Delhi High Court on Wednesday that there was no tampering with the OMR sheets of candidates of the NEET-UG re-test.
Appearing in a PIL on the issue, Mehta said that "loose kind of drafting and arguments" alleging "large-scale tampering" in the re-test ought not be allowed as they would set a "narrative".
"There is no tampering in any OMR sheet. None of this has happened. Don't sensationalise," he submitted before a bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia.
The bench was hearing the PIL by two NEET-UG candidates seeking additional marks for themselves, as well as "similarly affected candidates" for certain dropped questions, and scrapping of the National Testing Agency (NTA).
