JAMMU, Sept 10: Special Judge NIA Sunit Gupta has rejected the application of an accused in Pulwama terror attack seeking permission to sit in NEET (UG) 2020 Examination.
While rejecting the plea of the accused Waiz-ul-lslam, the court observed, “NEET(UG) is an entrance examination for admission in some professional Institutions. In the case the accused/applicant succeeds in the examination and qualifies for admission in any professional institution in such eventuality he would not be in a position to undergo professional training while in custody”.
“Even if it is presumed that the application form of the accused was accepted and he was allowed to sit in examination at the Srinagar centre, in such circumstances , it would not be appropriate for this court to allow the accused /applicant to visit Srinagar (although in custody)”, the Special Judge said, adding “since the applicant is involved in so hyper sensitive case where the involvement of some Pakistani nationals has also surfaced, who are part of JEM organization, as such a reasonable doubt may be arisen in mind that the members of JEM organization who are still active in Kashmir valley may attempt to get this accused released from custody or he may be eliminated for some reason”.
