NEET paper leak case: First fast-track court hearing adjourned as CBI counsel skips proceedings

The Congress on Monday (July 27, 2026) asked with what face the Narendra Modi government is "tom-toming" fast-track courts as a solution to the paper leaks crisis when its own CBI "failed to dispatch" a legal representative to the inaugural hearing of the fast-track court in such a case.

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the Delhi High Court set up a Special Fast Track Court in Delhi's Rouse Avenue complex on July 23 to hear the NEET-UG 2026 Paper leak case.

"Tellingly, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) failed to dispatch a legal representative to the inaugural hearing of this fast track court. It forced an immediate adjournment of the case," Mr. Ramesh said on X.
