Know what CJI Surya Kant said?
CJI Surya Kant said that in the last two days a completely false statement was made that any case was filed. Till 10 am, not a single page had been filed. It was only a letter/representation. How can I consider that letter as a writ petition?
He said that he himself had confirmed the status of the registry. Someone named Mishra had mentioned this. The media wrongly reported that I refused to list the case. It was just a letter and people started reporting it without thinking.
What were the demands made in the letter

Lawyer Narendra Mishra, in a letter to the CJI, had requested the Supreme Court to take suo motu cognizance under Article 32 of the Constitution. It alleged violation of fundamental rights during the protest against NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. The letter also demanded investigation into the attack by people in plain clothes and safekeeping of electronic records like drone footage, body-camera recordings.
Earlier this week, when the lawyer had sought an urgent hearing, the CJI bench had said, please do not waste our time and do not waste your time also. The bench comprising Justice Bagchi and Justice Mohana had refused to even watch the video, saying, we are not interested in the video. We don’t have time to see them.
Meanwhile, the Central Government reiterated its assurance of providing justice to the students. Union Ministers Jitendra Singh and JP Nadda met Sonam Wanguchak at Medanta Hospital and assured to take positive steps on the concerns of the protesting students.
The government said it will hold a detailed discussion on the paper leak and examination reforms in Parliament. There is also a positive stance on not registering cases against those who protested peacefully during Jantar Mantar and Parliament march on July 20. Also, consideration is being given to giving appropriate compensation to the families of students who allegedly died by suicide.
