Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court's order which denied the petitioner's request for a re-examination of NEET(UG)-2024 due to his medical condition, Hyperhidrosis. The Court held that the petitioner was provided the full allotted time for the examination, distinguishing his case from that of 1563 candidates who were granted re-examination due to a delay in distributing the correct question paper. The Court found that the denial of a handkerchief did not materially affect the petitioner's performance, emphasizing the need to prioritize public interest in examination matters.
