We Aren't Interested In Videos, Don't Have Time To Watch: Supreme Court Refuses Oral Mentioning About Alleged Police Violence At Students' Protest
The Court declined to entertain an oral mentioning on the NEET-UG protests at Jantar Mantar, refusing to view video evidence and advising counsel not to waste the court's time.
The Supreme Court has refused to entertain an oral mentioning regarding the ongoing NEET-UG protests at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, when an advocate sought urgent judicial intervention over alleged police high-handedness and examination irregularities.
Despite the counsel highlighting student demonstrations and offering to present video evidence of alleged police violence, the bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V Mohana declined to grant an immediate hearing, advising the lawyer not to waste the court's time.
The counsel said, "I am here, already mentioning here. For some, very simple observations. Student protest is already going in the Jantar Mantar. Police is already taking the brutal actions. And already, the same, other types of tear gases and other things. Two very important issues."
Chief Justice Kant said, "Don’t waste our time, and don’t waste your… your time is more precious than ours."
The lawyer then said, "Students are seeking here three very important prayers. First one is the NEET examination, free and fair examinations conducted should be by the government, first. Second is, the NTA agency is to be, should be dissolved because since last 10 years, examinations…some very important observation, because police is daily brutally… and fair people’s, and enter in this, please. Already I have the collection of the videos."
The Chief Justice remarked, "We are not interested in videos. We don't have time to watch."
The NEET-UG exam, conducted annually by the National Testing Agency (NTA), serves as the unified entrance test for undergraduate medical admissions across India.
In recent years, the examination has faced intense public and legal scrutiny following widespread allegations of paper leaks, grace mark discrepancies, and systemic malpractices. The controversy triggered mass demonstrations by student bodies, medical aspirants, and youth organizations at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
