Alam urges the Court to pass a direction that the admit card of students in containment zones be treated as curfew pass to ensure unobstructed travel for them to exam centres.

Justice Bhushan says that the said SOP refers to UGC exams and cannot apply to NEET.

Adv Shoeb Alam, appearing in item no.17, submits that he is not seeking deferment of exam, but is seeking the strict compliance of the central guidelines and SOP for the conduct of exam.
