Assam’s government announces it will withdraw cases and other legal proceedings against people who took part in protests linked to allegations of NEET-UG examination irregularities. The decision comes after a similar move reported earlier from Bihar. Assam’s statement says it will initiate the prompt withdrawal of registered cases and review arrests related to the protests, if any. It also states that no further adverse action is proposed against individuals involved in the demonstrations. The government frames its action as based on consideration of the circumstances and related reform needs, and indicates that the matter will be treated as closed without future proceedings on this account. The announcement, made on Monday, reassures protesters that the state will not pursue additional legal steps in connection with their participation. The decision applies to legal proceedings initiated against protest participants, as opposed to reassessing the underlying examination allegations.
