High court
Pune: National Testing Agency (NTA) on Thursday declared the RE-NEET-UG-2026 result of a Pune student (18) to enable him participate in the revised Centralised Admission Process (CAP) Round-I for the MBBS/BDS courses in the state quota, acting on an interim order of Bombay high court. The HC bench of Justice R I Chagla and Justice Firdosh P Pooniwalla said on Aug 25, “… We are not coming in the way of the CBI proceedings, which shall be pursued by the CBI. Further, we are not making any observation as to the role played by the petitioner in the NEET 2026 examination as that is not within the purview of this court in presently considering the writ petition, considering the interim relief sought for by the petitioner.
Thorat told TOI , “We brought to the court’s notice two orders passed on Aug 21 by the principal bench (Mumbai) and the Nagpur bench that considered similar requests for declaration of results to enable the petitioners concerned participate in the CAP. The only difference between those and our matter was that the CBI objected to the declaration of result in our case.”
