The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notices to the National Testing Agency (NTA) and Centre seeking their responses on pleas related to the alleged paper leaks and malpractices in NEET-UG.

The top court observed that even if there is 0.001% negligence on the part of anyone, it should be thoroughly dealt with. 

"Children have prepared for the exams, we cannot forget their labour," said the court.

The court further said that a person who becomes a doctor by playing  fraud on the system will be harmful to the society.

Meanwhile, several opposition parties have demanded cancellation of the exam and a probe into the allegations. NTA had earlier announced it would conduct a retest for 1,563 candidates who received grace marks in NEET-UG.
