New Delhi: A day after The National Testing Agency (NTA) refuted all charges of wrong marking in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) UG re-examination held on June 21, Supreme Court advocate Vineet Jindal said on Tuesday that a legal notice to be sent to it is ready.
Appropriate legal action will be initiated to ensure that every genuine grievance is properly addressed and investigated regarding the NEET result discrepancy claims, Jindal said, as reported by NDTV.
The lawyer claimed in post on X that he has received three complaints regarding discrepancies in OMR sheets.
“The documents shared by the candidates prima facie indicate inconsistencies that deserve a fair and impartial examination,” he said.
The NTA has claimed on Monday that the OMR sheets being circulated on social media have been digitally manipulated.
“I firmly believe that every candidate who has genuinely suffered due to any discrepancy on the part of NTA must receive justice,” Jindal said, adding: “Genuine grievances should not be dismissed merely by citing that some documents circulating online are forged, fabricated, or AI-generated.”
The NTA has also warned of legal action if the candidates persist with their accusations.
To ensure the credibility of the complaints, the lawyer has asked each complainant to provide a written undertaking affirming that the documents shared with him are genuine and have not been fabricated or altered.
On July 19, upon receiving a complaint from a NEET aspirant, Jindal had announced that he will be issuing a legal notice to the NTA seeking an explanation and appropriate action.
“If the discrepancy is genuine, it is a matter of serious concern and deserves immediate attention,” his post had read.
