The Supreme Court on Wednesday asked the Central Board of Secondary Education to hold declaration of All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) 2015-16 results for another week. It also directed Haryana police to complete the probe into the exam fraud which involves students from several States. The results were to be declared on June 5.
Scheduling the next hearing for June 10, a Vacation Bench headed by Justice Prafulla C. Pant said it would decide on that day whether to order fresh conduct of the exams which was held on May 3.
The court asked the police to identify as many candidates as possible who had benefited from the leak and file a fresh probe report on June 10.
Re-exam?
“We want to be doubly sure that there is no alternative but to order re-conduct of the examination,” Justice Pant observed, saying the court does not want to act in haste.
The police informed the court that 12 people had been arrested and 25 students identified as beneficiaries of the alleged racket. It said that students from at least 10 States were involved.
The court, however, sought information on the whereabouts of the alleged kingpin, Roop Singh Dangi, and sought to know why he had not been arrested yet.
Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for a student, said it had become almost “impossible to identify beneficiaries of the widespread offence” and hence re-conduct of the test was necessary.
Large-scale irregularities, came to light on exam day, with investigators informing the apex court that the answer keys were transmitted through 75 mobile phones in Bihar, Jharkhand, Rajasthan and Haryana.
