The Bombay High Court (HC) on Friday designated two special courts in Maharashtra to hear cases related to malpractices in public examinations, including the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET), news agency PTI reported.

The move comes a day after the Centre assured the setting up of fast-track courts to try cases involving examination malpractices, including the alleged NEET (UG) paper leak, amid nationwide protests demanding accountability and reforms in the examination system.
