Six cabinet ministers from six states have filed a review petition in the Supreme Court against the August 17 order dismissing pleas of students to postpone NEET-JEE exams scheduled in September.
The petition filed through Advocate Sunil Fernandes states that the SC order fails to “secure the safety, security and Right to Life of the Students/Candidates appearing for the NEET/JEE exams”.
SC ignored the “teething logistical difficulties in conducting the examinations at the proposed dates” and “failed to balance the competing but equally important aspects of conducting the examination and securing safety of the students”.
Challenging this order, the review petitioners state :
“The advice of “Life Must Go On” may have very sound philosophical underpinnings but cannot be a substitute for valid legal reasoning and logical analysis of the various aspects involved in the conduct of the NEET UG and JEE exams”.
It is contended that the SC order is cryptic, non-speaking, does not discuss let alone enumerate the various aspects and complexities involved in a matter of this magnitude and complex nature.”
