The Story in Brief
The Devendra Fadnavis-led Maharashtra government has approved the withdrawal of cases registered against students and protesters who demonstrated against the alleged NEET paper leak. A Government Resolution (GR) was issued on Wednesday extending the deadline for withdrawal from July 31, 2026, to March 31, 2027, India TV News reports. The decision also covers cases related to political protests where chargesheets must be filed by the new deadline.
The Indian Opinion
The withdrawal of cases against NEET protesters is welcome relief, but some see it as a politically timed gesture ahead of local elections. The harder question is whether it addresses the underlying grievance, the alleged paper leak itself. If the government truly wants to restore trust, it must ensure a transparent investigation into the leak. The number of cases actually withdrawn by March 31, 2027, will be the real test.
