<g data-gr-id="28">Reconducting</g> the All-India Pre-Medical Test examination, which saw large scale irregularities like leakage of answer keys, would be the “last resort”, the Supreme Court said on Thursday and asked the Haryana police to track down the beneficiaries.

“We are sitting with an open mind. We will decide it...So far as conducting re-examination is concerned, it is the last resort only,” a vacation Bench of Justices AK Sikri and UU Lalit said without ruling out re-conduct of AIPMT as demanded by some parents.

During the hearing, it also observed "why should six lakh people be asked to take up the examination all over again and we should try to find out the number of beneficiaries." 

The court asked the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Haryana police to trace out the actual numbers of beneficiaries of alleged irregularities in the test so that "wheat can be separated from <g data-gr-id="24">chaff</g>".

It also directed the law enforcement agencies of other states, mobile service providing companies to assist Haryana police in the investigation and posted the matters for May 26.
