Madhya Pradesh HC modifies earlier order, allows declaration of NEET-UG results nationwide
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has modified its May 15 order putting an interim stay on the declaration of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test - Under Graduate (NEET-UG) results nationwide and allowed that the results can be announced for all centres across the country, barring 11 odd test centres in Indore where students faced a power outage. The modifications were made by Justice Subodh Abhyankar on Friday after Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta, appearing through video conferencing, assured the court that a reply on the details of the centres affected by power outage will be filed within two days. Earlier on May 15, Justice Abhyankar, hearing a petition filed by a medical aspirant, had put an interim stay on the nation-wide result declaration while noting that the authorities failed to provide proper conditions to the girl student during the entrance examination held on May 4. Power supply had been disrupted in various parts of Indore on May 4 due to bad weather, after which the student moved the High Court saying that her performance was affected due to an about two-hour-long power failure at her centre. Mr. Mehta, appearing for the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the Central Government, submitted that the power problems were faced at 11 odd centres in Indore and hence the NTA may be allowed to declare results for other centres. 'Counsel has also submitted that the reply would be filed positively within two days' time giving details of the centres affected by power failure,' the High Court noted in the May 16 order. The petitioner's counsel Mridul Bhatnagar objected saying that if the affected students are not able to take the re-test in time, they would not be able to appear in the counselling even if they clear the exam. The court, however, said, 'On due consideration this Court finds force in the submissions as advanced by Mr. Mehta, and is inclined to modify the order passed on May 15, to the extent that the respondents may be allowed to declare the results for all the other centres in India, except the affected centres at Indore, in which the power failure was faced by the students, and the details of which shall be furnished by the respondents along with their reply. The next hearing is on May 19. Student's plea In the petition, the student had alleged mismanagement on part of the centre where she appeared to take the entrance test, and claimed that there was no power backup for about one or two hours, forcing the students to take the exam in candlelight or using emergency lamps. The plea also alleged that the NTA and the centre did not make any alternate arrangements despite a meteorological department advisory about a possible thunderstorm in the area, and that the students could not solve the question paper due to 'extreme stress and no extra time'. Saying that the events caused her significant distress and that the careers of the affected students have been 'kept on stake', the petitioner has sought directions for the NTA to re-conduct the exam for her or provide alternative solution to ensure fair assessment.
