SC extends stay on leaked AIPMT medical entrance exam for another 4 days

The Supreme Court on Monday extended, till June 12, the stay of declaration of the All India Pre-Medical Entrance Test (AIPMT) results, over-riding its earlier order restraining the Central Board of Secondary Education to hold back the results till June 9.

The court had June 3 asked the CBSE not to go ahead with the declaration of results till June 9 as it had given another week’s time to Haryana Police to complete its probe into the leakage of the question paper and the circulation of its answer key through electric devices in 10 states.

The AIPMT were originally scheduled to be declared June 5.

A vacation bench of Justice RK Agrawal and Justice Amitava Roy extended the stay on the result’s declaration after Additional Solicitor General Pinki Anand mentioned the matter.

Earlier the matter was to come up for hearing June 10.

The court had given Haryana Police a week’s time to complete the probe so that it could know the number of people who benefited from the question paper leak. It is only after having an assessment of the extent to which the integrity of the AIPMT has been compromised that the court will decide on the plea for the re-conduct of the entrance test.

The court is hearing of a PIL by Tanvi Sarwal along with another petition by Jahnvi Shanker seeking the re-conduct of the AIPMT in the wake of the leakage of the question paper and subsequent answer key being circulated through electronic devices.

Why SC is delaying the date? I think that after extending date for three or four times, police will forget about leakage and cheaters will become doctors. Every student wants retest, then what's the problem.Plz take decision immediately.

Every student do not want the retest but non performer student like you want retest and want to have another chance in a single year.Hon'erable SC should think of performer student who have no fault and shuold not be punished.No body want to go for retest and face agony.

[u]The onus should be to catch the cheats. Police can use computer analysis to find the sheets with answer scripts matching the leaked keys, a lie detector can be run on successful candidates, a mini test of the successful candidates can be done to find out the cheaters and many more methods. What if the cheaters were a bunch who would be enemies of the state, with nefarious designs. Would we still accept the Police to say we cant find them,.Come on these are a bunch of petty criminals.... if we cant catch them then we might not exist as a country as a power. Police and Supreme court should give the highest punishment to the bad actors in this pathetic drama. We cant allow these petty criminals to hold the full system to ransom.

i really think that any student who thinks that he deserves to crack a joint like aipmt should agree with re-examination.
