Common Law Admission Test 2025 (CLAT): The Supreme Court transferred the petitions challenging the results of the Common Law Admission Test 2025 (CLAT 2025) filed in other High Courts to the Delhi High Court. The CLAT 2025 examination held in December 2024 was for admissions to undergraduate and post-graduate law courses in various National Law Universities (NLUs) across India.
The decision sought to consolidate all matters in a single court to prevent conflicting judgments on the same issue at different courts.
List of High Courts with Pending Petitions
The cases currently pending in the following high courts:
- Delhi HC
- Rajasthan HC
- Karnataka HC
- Jharkhand HC
- Rajasthan HC
- Bombay HC
- Madhya Pradesh HC
- Punjab and Haryana HC
The cases will be heard collectively on March 3.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, Justice PV Sanjay Kumar, and Justice KV Viswanathan passed the order of the transfer. The bench ordered the transfer to be completed within 7 days.
Reason for Transfer of Petitions to Delhi High Court - CLAT 2025
The action follows a Delhi High Court ruling on December 20, 2024, where Justice Jyoti Singh partly allowed a petition from 17-year-old CLAT candidate Aditya. The petition pointed out two mistakes in the CLAT-UG exam for National Law Universities (NLUs). Justice Singh found errors in two of the five disputed questions and said the court couldn’t ignore such mistakes.
As a result, the court ordered the NLU Consortium to release new results with the corrected marks for those two questions. Both the NLU Consortium and Aditya differed with the decision and took the case to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has now decided to hear all related cases together to provide a clear and consistent final decision for the discrepancies related to CLAT 2025 exams.
