The Supreme Court on Friday refused to hear pleas seeking urgent hearing of issues arising out of the NEET re-test scheduled for June 21, observing that all matters concerning the examination are already listed before a Bench headed by Justice PS Narasimha.

The matter was mentioned before Chief Justice of India Surya Kant by counsel appearing for NEET candidates.

When a plea relating to the NEET re-examination was mentioned for urgent listing, the CJI said:

"All NEET matters will go before the Bench of Justice PS Narasimha. No urgency."

Subsequently, another counsel mentioned a plea concerning around 1,600 NEET candidates and submitted that the students were under "tremendous pressure and anxiety" due to rumours circulating on social media and developments in related proceedings before the Delhi High Court.

The counsel submitted:

"This matter pertains to 1600 NEET candidates. They are under tremendous pressure and anxiety on account of all the rumours that are out there including yesterday's proceedings before Delhi High Court which has categorically admitted and acknowledged that paper leaks and these events are there on the social media."
