The Supreme Court of India on September 1, 2026, ordered the quashing of all FIRs filed against students protesting the NEET examination irregularities across the country.
The ruling provides relief to thousands of students, though the court specified that individuals with prior criminal records or those involved in violent acts remain subject to ongoing legal proceedings.
Following the verdict, the CJP (Coalition for Justice and Peace) officially cancelled its planned September 5 protest march to India Gate, citing the court's favorable intervention.
