The Supreme Court was informed on Friday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was personally supervising the NEET-UG cancellation, following a paper leak.

The submission was made by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta after the apex court sought a response from the government in an affidavit detailing how and in which manner the process and conclusion of the leak probe would be done.

“Honourable Prime Minister is personally supervising,” Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the court, according to .

During the hearing, Justice Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha asked the Centre about how much monitoring of implementation has happened and the reason behind the leak.

The court said that the youngsters should not be disappointed in this way, adding “It’s very traumatising so much investment of emotions and time.” The court also cited the example of UPSC in conducting examinations.

“Despite high powered committee if this incident happened, there is something wrong with the original recommendation or there is no proper implementations,” Justice Narasimha questioned.
