SC Transfers CLAT 2025 Result Petitions to Delhi High Court
New Delhi, February 7, 2025: The Supreme Court has transferred all petitions challenging the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2025 results to the Delhi High Court. A bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justices Sanjay Kumar and K V Viswanathan directed that all cases be heard by a Delhi High Court division bench on March 3, 2025.
SC Directs Transfer of CLAT Petitions
The apex court has ordered registrars of the Bombay, Karnataka, Punjab & Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Calcutta High Courts to transfer all judicial records related to CLAT 2025 disputes to the Delhi High Court within seven days.
The decision follows an earlier hearing on January 15, where the Supreme Court had suggested consolidating all petitions under a single high court, with the Punjab & Haryana High Court initially considered. However, the final directive places the jurisdiction with the Delhi High Court.
Dispute Over CLAT 2025 Results
The controversy stems from CLAT 2025, conducted on December 1, 2024, for admissions to undergraduate and postgraduate law programs across National Law Universities (NLUs). Several candidates challenged the results, alleging:
- Errors in the undergraduate exam questions affecting merit rankings.
- Irregularities in postgraduate admissions due to discrepancies in evaluation.
Petitioners have sought a re-evaluation of scores and corrective action from the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs), which conducts CLAT annually.
Legal and Academic Implications
As CLAT is the primary entrance exam for India’s top law schools, the ongoing legal battle has raised concerns among law aspirants. With the Delhi High Court now set to hear all cases on March 3, 2025, stakeholders await further judicial intervention.
