NEET UG 2023: Bombay HC allows a girl to reappear for exam

NEET 2023 exam for the Manipur candidates will be conducted on June 6, 2023. On Thursday, the Bombay High Court allowed a girl to reappear for the exam with Manipur candidates as she could not complete the exam paper the first time due to a broken wrist.

Bombay High Court permitted an 18-year-old girl to reappear for the NEET UG 2023 exam with Manipur candidates as she could not complete the exam paper the first time due to a broken wrist.

“The petitioner shall file an undertaking within a week from today that she shall not rely upon the attempt she had given on 7th May 2023 for the NEET-UG 2023 examination,” the HC said, as reported by Law Trend.

A vacation bench of Justices Manish Pitale and Neela Gokhale heard a plea filed by Dhanashree Jagatap seeking permission to reappear for the exam.

The petitioner said that she arrived at the NEET-UG examination centre on May 7 but fell on the ground due to a rush in the queue, resulting in the dislocation of her right wrist joint. After the accident, she was taken to the nearby hospital and was later brought back to the centre where she was allotted a writer, Jagatap said in the plea. But she lost a lot of time in all these and got lesser time to complete the exam and consequently, she could not attempt the last part pertaining to Physics subject.

The union government said on the plea that it was willing to permit Jagatap to reappear for the exam on June 6 but on the condition that she shall not rely on the marks obtained by her in the May 7 examination. She accepted it and was allowed to reappear for the exam.
