NEET Protest Accused Files for Bail Citing Government Policy to Drop Cases

An individual currently in judicial custody for his role in NEET-related protests has petitioned a court for bail. He argues that the Assam government’s recent decision to withdraw cases against other protesters should also apply to his situation.

A man identified as Ahmed, currently held in judicial custody, has filed a bail application before the Judicial Magistrate First Class in Kamrup (Metro). The core of his legal argument rests on a recent policy shift by the Assam state government regarding protests surrounding the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).

According to the filing, Ahmed contends that because the state government has initiated a process to withdraw criminal cases linked to NEET protests, he should be granted similar relief. The motion seeks to leverage this administrative decision to secure his release from custody. While the report confirms the filing of the bail plea, it does not detail the specific charges against Ahmed or the state's official response to his request for parity with other protesters whose cases are being dropped. The legal proceedings are ongoing, and the court has yet to issue a ruling on whether the government's policy of withdrawing cases applies to his specific circumstances.
