Withdraw cases, allow youngsters to continue studies: SC to states
The Supreme Court permitted Delhi and state governments to withdraw or close FIRs lodged during NEET paper leak protests.
The court stated student protesters must be allowed to pursue their studies without fear of prosecution.
Cases against 2,738 individuals with criminal antecedents, including those accused of rape, murder, and child sexual abuse under the POCSO Act, will not be dropped.
The bench will establish guidelines for the use of graded force by police.
The court posted the matter for further hearing on August 18.
