NEET-UG protests case: Petitioners seek re-constitution of high-powered enquiry committee
They argue that HPEC may be ‘under-equipped’ to enquire into the ‘role of persons occupying the highest levels of the Union Executive, the Ministry of Home Affairs, Delhi Police and the Rapid Action Force’; Clarifies they are not questioning the personal integrity of the HPEC members
Petitioners urgently requested Chief Justice of India Surya Kant to reconsider the composition of the high-powered enquiry committee (HPEC) that investigated the police crackdown on students protesting NEET-UG paper leaks. The HPEC, led by former Supreme Court judge R. Subhash Reddy, was established to examine all aspects of the incident on July 20.
The petitioners clarified that their request was not aimed at judging the personal character of any HPEC members, but rather to assess the involvement of top officials from the Union Executive, Ministry of Home Affairs, Delhi Police, and Rapid Action Force.
