The Supreme Court quashes all FIRs filed against students linked to NEET-UG paper leak protests, held between July 20 and July 25. Following the court’s order, the CJP announces it is calling off a planned protest march on September 5.
According to multiple reports, the decision comes after the CJP and other parties approach the court, and the Centre provides assurances related to the FIRs. The Hindu says the development follows “FIR assurances” from the Centre, while Mint reports that the court’s action directly leads to the CJP cancelling the September 5 march. Business Line notes that a CJP co-convenor reads out a statement in court withdrawing the planned demonstration.
The outlets present the same core sequence—Supreme Court quashing of FIRs tied to the NEET protests and the subsequent withdrawal of the march—while differing mainly in emphasis. Mint focuses on the cancellation of the march, The Hindu highlights the role of Centre’s assurances, and Business Line underscores the statement read out in court.
