NEET leak court demands punctuality, reserves order on CBI chargesheet

The Story in Brief

A Delhi fast-track court on Thursday asked lawyers to arrive at 10am sharp in the NEET-UG paper leak case, saying every minute mattered as the hearing began 11 minutes late. The court listed further arguments for August 10 and reserved its order on taking cognisance of the CBI’s 20,000-page chargesheet against 13 accused.

The CBI opposed two accused undergoing polygraph tests, saying its investigation was complete and all incriminating evidence had been collected. Defence counsel AP Singh argued that the tests could help identify further suspects, including suspended National Testing Agency officials. Special judge Ajay Gupta said he had been ordered to expedite the cases.

The Indian Opinion

The lazy narrative that a long chargesheet automatically proves a complete case is as weak as the claim that a lie detector will uncover every hidden name. The CBI must show that its evidence supports charges, while the defence must explain what useful, admissible information testing could add. The court’s cognisance order and later charge arguments will provide the clearest test.
