Supreme Court’s idea to visit new NTA office, Centre’s ‘welcome’ response
A two-judge bench of the Supreme Court expressed interest in visiting the National Testing Agency's headquarters to assess its infrastructure and manpower. Justice PS Narasimha, leading the bench, stated that both he and his brother would visit the agency. The bench also comprised Justice Alok Aradhe. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta informed the court that NTA now operates from a permanent address at Minto Road in Central Delhi.
When asked if the court would welcome the visit, Mehta replied that the court would be honored. Justice Narasimha emphasized the importance of NTA having a permanent space and at least half of its staff being permanent employees. The bench was informed that a high-powered task force headed by Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani is expected to deliver a report by the end of September.
The court instructed the task force to file an affidavit detailing the progress of consultations within two weeks.
