The Supreme Court on Friday posted to the third week of July, hearing on a petition challenging the Tamil Nadu governments decision to abolish the Common Entrance Test (CET) for professional courses in the state.

A bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan listed the matter for hearing after the courts summer vacation after senior counsel Nageswara Rao, appearing for the petitioner student, made a fresh mention of the matter.

Petitioner A S Prabhu has alleged that the governments decision to abolish the CET was illegal as admissions were now being sought to be made by the state through random allotment and in an unscientific manner on the basis of qualifying marks obtained in the board exams.
