A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court against the Union education ministry's decision to cancel the UGC-NET exam, citing integrity concerns.

The ministry canceled the exam on June 19 and handed the matter to the CBI for investigation into paper leak allegations.

The plea, scheduled for a hearing before Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, argues that the decision was arbitrary and based on doctored evidence.
