India, May 29 -- The Supreme Court was informed on Friday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was personally supervising the NEET-UG cancellation, following a paper leak.

The submission was made by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta after the apex court sought a response from the government in an affidavit detailing how and in which manner the process and conclusion of the leak probe would be done.

"Honourable Prime Minister is personally supervising," Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the court, according to LiveLaw.

The remark comes after the Supreme Court on Friday heard a batch of petitions challenging NEET-UG cancellation conducted by the NTA.
