The bench reserved its orders after hearing arguments from the counsels appearing on behalf of the union Government that the petitioner ought to approach only the Supreme Court on NEET. It was also submitted that a decision on the request made by the Tamil Nadu Government to the Centre seeking exemption for NEET for this year through an amendment is expected in a day or two.

The state passed the two Bills unanimously. These Bills awere later sent to the Presidential in February 2017 but are yet to be cleared.
