The ruling was issued in response to a notice on a transfer petition filed by the National Testing Agency (NTA) by a vacation bench consisting of Justices Vikram Nath and SVN Bhatti. The NTA is requesting that the Supreme Court hear these cases after they were originally heard in the High Court.

β€œThere may be some individual cases where petitions have been filed asking for the answer sheets, issue of higher marks and lesser marks, let those matters be thrashed out by the High Court.” – Justice Vikram Nath stated while issuing the stay order.

The Supreme Court in addition, tagged certain other writ petitions that claimed irregularities in NEET-UG 2024’s conduct with related matters that were posted on July 8. The Court verbally stated that it is known that the admission procedure will be contingent upon the outcome of the petitions, while reiterating that it was not going to halt the counseling process.

The following matters are the ones for which the Court issued notices:

  1. NTA vs. Keshav Pareek and othersΒ (T.P.(C) No. 1602/2024) – Rajasthan High Court.
