Namita Sibal and Ors vs Union of India and Ors

Bench: 2 — <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

The Supreme Court granted interim relief in special leave petitions challenging a Madras High Court order that had stayed the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) results declared on 7 May 2017. The petitioners argued that the High Court's interim directions conflicted with the Supreme Court's earlier order fixing a schedule for declaring results. The Court stayed the High Court's impugned order and permitted authorities to proceed with result declarations and admissions, but clarified that these would remain subject to the final decision on the petitions' merits.
