Published Jul 24, 05:10 AM UTC

The Delhi High Court has designated a special fast-track court to exclusively hear criminal cases related to question paper leaks and unfair practices in public examinations. The notification was issued on July 23, 2026, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement that the government would establish fast-track courts for expeditious trials in paper leak cases. Judicial officer Anu Grover Baliga has been appointed as the judge for this specially designated court, which will function from the Rouse Avenue Court Complex in Delhi. The court will try offences under the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024. The move comes amid widespread protests by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) over alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG examination, with protesters demanding accountability and reforms in the education system.
