Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced plans to establish fast-track courts to ensure quicker trials and stringent punishment for people involved in examination paper leak cases.
The announcement came on 23 July 2026 amid continuing student-led protests over alleged examination irregularities, including the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak controversy. Demonstrators have been demanding greater accountability, examination transparency and stronger protection for students.
Sharing a message on X, PM Modi said that nothing was more important than the welfare and future of the country’s youth. He stated that the authorities and officials concerned had been directed to take all necessary action regarding the proposed courts.
“Those who try to harm the future of our youth will not be spared,” the Prime Minister said.
According to Modi, the fast-track courts are intended to provide swift justice and strict punishment to those responsible for leaking examination papers. He described the decision as part of the government’s continuing efforts to safeguard students’ interests.
Announcement Comes Amid Student Protests
The announcement follows days of protests in Delhi over alleged examination paper leaks. Protesters and opposition leaders have also called for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, alleging failures in the handling of the examination system.
While the Prime Minister has promised strict action, details such as the number of proposed fast-track courts, their locations and the timeline for their establishment have not yet been publicly disclosed. Fast-track courts are generally established by state governments and Union Territories in consultation with the respective High Courts.
The announcement sends a strong message that examination paper leaks will be treated seriously. However, students will now be watching closely to see how quickly the decision is implemented and whether it results in greater accountability and improved confidence in India’s examination system.
