NEET UG 2024 Controversy: The Allahabad High Court dismissed a petition filed by NEET aspirant Ayushi Patel on Tuesday due to discrepancies found in her claims regarding a damaged OMR answer sheet.

Patel alleged that the National Testing Agency (NTA) did not declare her result due to a torn OMR sheet. She asserted a score of 715 based on the answer key but received a result with a different application number showing only 335 marks. These claims were made in a viral video shared on social media amid controversies surrounding irregularities in the NEET-UG exam 2024.

In her petition, Patel demanded a manual evaluation of her OMR sheet, an investigation into the NTA's actions, and a suspension of the ongoing admission counseling. However, following a court order, the NTA presented the original OMR sheet, which revealed no damage. The court dismissed the petition, labeling it a case involving "forged documents," and stated that the NTA has the liberty to take legal measures.

"The petitioner has submitted forged documents, and in such a situation this court cannot stop NTA from taking legal action against the student," the court said.

In court, the NTA affirmed their intention to initiate legal proceedings against Patel. Patel's advocate subsequently requested to withdraw the petition, a request that the court granted.

Previously, the NTA had denied Patel's assertions, asserting that her actual score was lower than claimed and confirming the integrity of the OMR sheet.
