The club has challenged this directive in the Delhi High Court. Legal updates include the Supreme Court issuing notices to the National Testing Agency regarding the NEET paper leak and restraining media statements on the Twisha Sharma death probe, now under Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) scrutiny. The CBI is also investigating a Bhopal death case following judicial intervention. Environmental reports highlight a severe heatwave alert and hazardous air quality in Delhi caused by dust storms.
