Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced the establishment of four fast-track courts in the state to resolve cases related to exam paper leaks and malpractices within three months. Emphasizing the government’s commitment to safeguarding students’ futures, Yadav assured that delays in the justice system would not jeopardize students. The fast-track courts will be set up in Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, and Gwalior to ensure swift judicial resolution of youth-related matters.
Referring to the NEET paper leak issue, Chief Minister Yadav praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s prompt action in ordering a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe upon learning of irregularities. He also mentioned plans to implement standard operating procedures (SOPs) to guarantee transparent and fair conduct of future exams. Madhya Pradesh, Yadav highlighted, was the first state to adopt the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and had established three new government universities in the past two-and-a-half years.
In response to the need for expeditious legal proceedings, the Madhya Pradesh High Court designated four special fast-track courts in Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, and Gwalior to handle cases of exam paper leaks and other irregularities under the Lok Pariksha (Anuchit Sadhano Ka Nivaran) Adhiniyam, 2024. These courts are instructed to conclude trials within three months from the filing of charge sheets. The decision to establish these courts aligns with the government’s efforts to address examination-related offenses promptly, following the NEET-UG paper leak controversy.
