The 2006 Combined Pre-Medical Test (CPMT) paper leak case in Himachal Pradesh remains unresolved after two decades, with the trial currently stalled at the evidence-recording stage. A Shimla trial court has mandated day-to-day hearings starting June 8 to expedite the examination of prosecution witnesses. The court emphasized that the rights of the accused to a speedy trial cannot be indefinitely compromised. The case has drawn attention due to the involvement of 104 accused, including high-profile individuals such as an IAS officer and the niece of a former cabinet minister. Investigations revealed that the question paper was allegedly leaked from a printing press in Lucknow, leading to a multi-state probe. Despite the prosecution's assurances to locate witnesses, the court expressed frustration over the slow pace and failure to produce all necessary testimonies. The Supreme Court has intervened, urging the trial court to accelerate proceedings. Over the years, seven accused have died, and five others are declared proclaimed offenders, while many of the accused remain on bail.
