casestatus.in Summary

Summary of W.P.(C) No. 168/2013 - Ansari Mahin Fatema v. Union of India The Supreme Court heard a petition by 21 students challenging the exclusion of Urdu as an examination medium for the 2013 NEET (medical entrance) examination in Maharashtra, despite Urdu being previously available. The Court found that a substantial number of Urdu-medium students would be disadvantaged and allowed as a one-time measure: the original May 5, 2013 examination would proceed unchanged, but a supplementary examination in Urdu would be held eight weeks later for eligible Maharashtra applicants; students who had already opted for other languages could not change their choice. The petition was disposed of accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
