NEW DELHI, MAY 25 : The National University of Advanced Legal Studies Kochi (NUALS) has readily agreed to constitute a Grievance Redressal Committee to deal with the complaints of the test takers against the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2018. This readiness of NUALS came after when the Supreme Court directed the NLU to constitute a Grievance Redressal Forum and find amicable solutions for the ‘huge problems’. The Grievance Redressal Committee constitutes two members– Retired Kerala High Court Judge, Justice MR Hariharan Nair and Head of Computer Science Department of Cochin University, Dr Santosh Kumar G, who will now examine all the complaints of individual CLAT candidates and make recommendations.
The Committee will submit its recommendations to the apex court on May 29 for all those individual grievances submitted till May 27, 2018.
Two-phased scrutiny
The scrutiny of the grievances will be carried out in two phases. In the first phase, the committee will look after the first 251 representations received by NUALS so far, by May 27, 2018.
Further, the apex court has also allowed other aggrieved candidates, who have not submitted their representations, till 7:00 pm of May 27, 2018, after which the committee will tend to these fresh representations until 29 May.
The court directions
The Supreme Court has directed NUALS to submit the status report of the Grievance Redressals Committee’s work, in court on May 30, 2018, and an advance copy to the petitioners in the writ which it is hearing.
The apex court also directed NUALS to create and publish a designated email address for receiving grievance representations from CLAT 2018 candidates, within two hours from 25 th May’s hearing.
