Supreme Court’s last ultimatum – ‘Stop the series of mistakes!’ What will happen on July 27 after the violent chaos on the streets of Delhi and Wangchuk’s fast being broken? Know.
New Delhi. The country’s biggest court has taken a very tough stance on the cases of rigging and paper leaks going on in the NEET-UG examination. During a highly tense hearing in the Supreme Court on Friday, a division bench of Justices PS Narasimha and Alok Aradhe put the Central government and the examination agencies directly in the dock. Amidst the silence in the courtroom, the bench said in a very stern tone, “We will keep a close watch on this entire matter and will review it regularly.” This attitude of the Supreme Court has made it clear that now the government will not be able to make any kind of noise. The court reiterated one thing in clear words – “We cannot let it continue like this.”
“What preparations are there on the online exam?” Court asked for complete roadmap
During the hearing, the Supreme Court asked the most important and suspenseful question to the Central Government. During the hearing, the bench of Justices PS Narasimha and Alok Aradhe sought complete details from the Central Government about their secret plans to bury the pen-paper mode forever and move to Computer-Based Testing (CBT) i.e. completely online mode. The court asked, “Please tell us what you are doing to move to a completely online mode? And most importantly, when such a major examination of the country will go to computer-based mode, how will you protect the data? We will ensure that everything is institutionalised.” On this, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who was representing the government, asked the court for some more time to present a ‘holistic view’, which the court accepted and fixed the date of July 27.

Violent clashes at Jantar Mantar and ‘Chalo Sansad’ march: Students’ anger came out on the streets
This entire legal battle is faltering at a time when the streets of Delhi are burning with student anger. Thousands of students are protesting at Jantar Mantar under the leadership of ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ (CJP), whose only goal is the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Earlier this week, the movement turned violent when students broke barricades and started the ‘Chalo Sansad’ march. Delhi Police used tear gas shells and brutally resorted to lathicharge to stop the protesters, resulting in serious injuries to both policemen and students. This chaos on the streets has added more seriousness to the proceedings inside the Supreme Court.
End of fast at Medanta Hospital: High-voltage drama from Safdarjung to Gurugram
The most emotional and suspenseful link of this entire movement has been the famous activist Sonam Wangchuk, who was sitting on an indefinite hunger strike since June 28. On July 18, when doctors gave the scary warning of his organs failing, the police forcibly picked him up and admitted him to Safdarjung Hospital. After this, Wangchuk’s wife Gitanjali Angmo approached the Delhi High Court alleging negligence in the government hospital. After two days of high-voltage legal battle, he was finally allowed to be shifted to Medanta Hospital in Gurugram, where he broke his fast today after receiving major written assurances from the Central government.
Now everyone’s eyes are on the next big hearing of the Supreme Court to be held on 27th July. Will the central government be able to present that foolproof plan of data security before the court, or will this impasse of the examination system give rise to a new legal and social revolution in the country? The suspense is at its peak right now!
