Srinagar, May 6 (KNS): The Supreme Court will pronounce on Monday its judgment on the pleas of filed by Jammu and Kashmir and other states on National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) for medical courses and will take up the case again tomorrow for judgment.
The SC bench Friday heard all the arguments pleaded by the advocates that represented the state.
“The advocates that represented the state completed their pleas before the Hon’ble Supreme Court bench. The judgment will be delivered on Monday,” Commissioner Secretary Law Muhammad Ashraf Mir told KNS.
Senior advocates including former Attorney General of India Gopal Subramanium, former Additional Solicitor General K Vishwanathan, appeared for the State apart from Advocate General D C Raina. Commissioner Secretary Law Muhammad Ashraf Mir and BOPEE chairman GH Tantray are also putting up with the law team.
Medical Council of India pleaded before the apex court that it has no objections if the states conduct their own entrance exams for admission to medical courses. However, it pleaded that no private college shall hold the tests for medical courses.

Almost all the States have opposed the NEET and all top advocates of the country appeared for the States which are opposing NEET.
They included Soli Sorabji, R. Venogopal, Tushar Mehta, Nageshwar Rao, Prashant Bhushan, Dr. Rajive Dhawan, Gopal Subramanium, K. Vishwanathan, V Giri, Shyam Deewan and Ranjit Kumar, solicitor General of India.
JK had on Monday filed application in the Supreme Court seeking exemption of the state’s aspirants from National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) for medical courses. The state government is invoking Articles 370 and 35 (A) to plead the case.
NEET has put the state government in a fix and confused aspirants for medical courses. The test will be held after the ruling of the Supreme Court to hold a single common entrance test for admission to MBBS and BDS courses across the country.
For the state, Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE) was conducting entrance tests for all the medical courses for the students, and the tests were usually held in the mid-summer months. (KNS)
