The matter of what happened at Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan was brought up during the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for Undergraduate (NEET-UG) hearing which Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud led today, Tuesday, July 23.

Senior Advocate Narendra Hooda, representing the petitioners, stated that students who opted for Hindi medium papers were given English ones. This error was identified only two hours later and only then, the examination was restarted, this time with the correct question papers, which went on till 3.2 hours.

Moreover, this error was recognised only after it surfaced on social media. The video had particularly gone viral on social media platform X. This had impacted over 120 students.

As per advocate Hooda, this incident happened in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh as well.

In another context, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta had mentioned, "They have given instances of three to four centres raising suspicion. This court is examining an issue involving approximately 24 lakh students across 4,750 centers. There is no pan-India effect."

It may be noted that earlier during the hearing, the CJI had said, "Those candidates who may have some individual grievances, we may leave it them to move the high court." This was stated by a tweet by LiveLaw.
