Another petition for judicial probe filed

Another writ petition was filed with the High Court yesterday seeking its order for conducting a judicial inquiry into medical admission test questions leak.

Seven unsuccessful admission seekers and three guardians of such candidates submitted the petition to the HC, praying to it to form a judicial commission to conduct the inquiry and issue guidelines to prevent such incidents in future.

Petitioners' counsel Suprokash Datta Amit said ambiguity still exists as the government had denied the question leak allegation, while on the other hand law enforcers had arrested some people on the charge of leaking the questions of the medical admission test held on September 18.

A fair investigation should be run to unearth the truth, he said, adding that the HC might hold hearing on the petition tomorrow.

Earlier on September 21 and November 9, the HC rejected two writ petitions filed by Supreme Court lawyer Eunus Ali Akond seeking its order for cancelling the medical admission test and conducting a judicial inquiry into the question paper leak allegation.
