Two prosecutors were assigned to the newly constituted fast-track court for deciding paper leak cases on Tuesday, a day after the first hearing was adjourned as prosecution did not show up.
The Directorate of Prosecution assigned senior public prosecutor VK Pathak and public prosecutor Arjun Anand to handle the cases in the court.
On Monday, special judge Anu Grover Baliga was hearing the bail petitions of Dinesh and Vikas Biwal, two of the 13 accused in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case.
The case was the first one to be assigned to the newly formed court.
In its order, the court had noted that no one appeared on behalf of the prosecution during the bail hearing and hence the matter was being adjourned to August 3 for further proceedings, while requesting the Directorate of Prosecution to assign a prosecutor to the court.
The Delhi High Court had last week designated the special fast-track court to exclusively hear criminal cases involving question paper leaks and the use of unfair means in public examinations, days after the Centre announced a crackdown on examination-related offences.
According to a notification issued by registrar general Arun Bhardwaj, judicial officer Anu Grover Baliga was appointed to preside over the newly created fast-track court at the Rouse Avenue Court Complex.
