NEET PG 2025 Postponed to August 3 Following Supreme Court’s Directive to Conduct Exam in One Shift

On Friday, the Supreme Court permitted the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBE) to postpone the NEET PG 2025 exam from June 15 to August 3, 2025.

The decision came after the Court ordered that the exam must be conducted in a single shift instead of two. NBE explained that conducting the exam in one shift would require arranging double the number of exam centers, along with additional time for identification and security preparations.

The Court accepted these reasons and granted the extension but made it clear that no further postponements will be allowed.

This order follows a petition filed by a group of candidates challenging the change from the usual single-shift format and seeking disclosure of answer sheets and question papers.

Mumbai Sessions Court Denies Bail to Lawyer Accused of ₹2.57 Crore Fraud Using Forged Bombay High Court Orders

A sessions court in Mumbai recently rejected the bail application of lawyer Vinay Kumar Ashok Khatu, accused of defrauding his client of ₹2.57 crore by presenting forged Bombay High Court orders.

The court noted the lawyer’s prior criminal record, which includes impersonation of an IAS officer in Delhi and Kerala, and deemed him unfit for bail given the seriousness of the allegations.

According to the prosecution, Khatu convinced his client, Urmila Talyarkhan, to file a delayed second appeal in a land dispute case. He then produced fake court orders claiming her appeal was admitted and the lower court’s decree stayed.

Trusting these documents, the client transferred the money through RTGS to Khatu’s associates. The land dispute itself dates back to 1998 involving agricultural land in Raigarh district.

The court emphasized that granting bail in such a serious matter would send the wrong message to society.
