Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, apprised a bench comprising justices PS Narasimha and Manoj Misra that the Centre-appointed committee has filed its report. "We are going to implement all the recommendations and it (matter) can be listed after six months," the law officer said. The bench, after noting the submissions of the Centre, adjourned the case for three months, saying that it will take up the matter for next hearing in April.

The top court on August 2 last year refused to annul the controversy-ridden NEET-UG 2024, saying there was no sufficient material on record at present to indicate a systemic leak or malpractice compromising the integrity of the examination.
