The Rouse Avenue Court in New Delhi has deferred its order on taking cognizance of the charge sheet in the NEET UG paper leak case. The court will pronounce its order on August 12.
The judicial custody of the accused persons has also been extended until August 12. The accused appeared before the court through video conferencing.
The court further rejected an application filed by Mangilal Biwal, Vikas Biwal and Dinesh Biwal, who had sought directions for conducting polygraph, brain-mapping and lie-detector tests.
The proceedings come as the court considers the charge sheet filed in connection with the alleged leak of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG) examination paper.
The court’s decision on August 12 will determine whether cognizance is formally taken of the offences alleged in the charge sheet.
