Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to pass any directions to the Central government to provide the NEET candidates with the option to change their exam centres and postpone the exam. The bench comprising of Justice UU Lalit and Justice, Justice S Ravindra Bhat and Justice Bela M Trivdei was hearing the plea by the NEET PG aspirants who wanted a change in their centres.
The students contended before the court that though the students becoming eligible in June 2021 have the option to change, while students becoming eligible in March do not have that option so now they would have to travel far off distances.
However, the court rejected the plea saying that now everything is operating and one can easily travel.
"There are no restrictions, if you go to any airport these days all flights are booked. People travelling from Delhi to Madras, Delhi to Kochi," said the judges. Sr Adv Meenakshi Arora appearing for the candidates had said that students would have to travel to Delhi from Kerala.
"Flights to and fro from Kerala are operating and the severity of the pandemic is still not the same as in April and May. You are right, there are more numbers in Kerala but life is going on," said the court and dismissed the petition.
