#BREAKING #SupremeCourt refuses to postpone NEET-PG 2024 exam scheduled on August 11, dismisses a petition seeking postponement of the exam.

Bench dismisses the petition.

CJI: your argument is postulated on ideal solutions, we are looking at a complex society

CJI: simple answer is we all live in extremely diverse - geographically, culturally nation, therefore we have these large exams...

Sanjay: sometimes a pause to do the work perfectly is a good thing 

CJI: as matter of principle we will not reschedule. 2 lac students and 4 lac parents will suffer. At behest of 5 petitioner will keep careers of 2 lacs students in jeopardy

CJI: also one thing (not for your client) we dont know who is behind these petitions

Sanjay Hegde says that there are 50000 phone calls he recived.

Sanjay : 2 exams, 2 papers - normalizing, it becomes inherently problematic.

CJI: nowdays people just come- alright postpone exams

Sanjay : prayer B is the consequence- it says 1 exam, beause you cut down centre. The 2 exams will be normalised....

CJI: we are not academicians

Sanjay: centres are cut down from 1200 to 500, NEET UG matter effect the NEET PG exams

Sanjay Hedge appears for petitioners

CJI: now to reschedule a PG exam, not possible, they are all children for all of us
