Apart from this, you have to show that the paper leak was systematic and it affected the sanctity of the entire examination.
Advocate Narendra Hooda, appearing for some of the petitioners seeking re-conduct of NEET-UG and alleged paper leak, said that the NTA had increased the syllabus five months before the exam and that was the basis for grace marks.

No money for 45 minutes before the exam. Have to pay 75 lakhs?
It is impossible to solve 180 papers in 45 minutes: Chief Justice
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday heard together the petitions demanding cancellation of the exam including paper leak and other irregularities in NEET-UG.

Hearing the NEET-UG paper leak case, Chief Justice Dhananjay Chandrachud said that to know how extensive the paper leak was, it is very important to know how long before the exam the paper was leaked. The greater the gap between the paper leak and the start of the exam, the more extensive it will be. On the argument of the central government, the Chief Justice said that the students got the paper at 10.15 am. It has 180 questions. Earlier, all the questions were solved in just 45 minutes between 9.30 and 10.15 am? It is difficult to believe this. Apart from this, is it right to pay Rs 100 for 45 minutes before the exam? Can you pay 75 lakhs?
