Sharma had said the five persons arrested by the Uttarakhand Police on July 23, a day before the Phase 2 of the entrance test, were part of an inter-state racket. He withdrew the petition after the SC asked him to approach the high court.

The CBSE, which had rejected the paper-leak claim, had gone ahead with the exam. NEET-1 was held on May 1. The combined result will be declared on August 17.
