Supreme Court to hear CLAT 2025 case transfer pleas today

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2025 case transfer plea today, February 6. Petitions have been filed against CLAT 2025 results in the high courts of Delhi, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Bombay, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana.

During the last hearing, the top court suggested transferring CLAT 2025 pleas to Punjab and Haryana High Court, with Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjeev Khanna highlighting that the first petition was filed in this very HC. On the other hand, the Consortium of National Law Universities urged that the cases should be either consolidated in the apex court or in a specific high court.

CNLU had sought transfer of pleas against CLAT results 2025, from various high courts to the apex court. An aspirant had also informed a Delhi High Court division bench that several petitions were pending in different high courts and the transfer pleas would be moved before the top court. The high court then posted the pleas, filed against a single-judge bench order, for hearing on January 30.

Both CNLU and aspirants were against the Delhi HC ruling, with the consortium arguing that the single-judge bench should not have interfered in the case of CLAT UG answer key prepared by experts.

CLAT 2025 Results: Single-judge order

A two-judge bench refused to intervene in the single-judge order and pass an interim order. The Delhi HC prima facie found no error in the view taken by the single judge with respect to the two questions challenged in the court, and asked the consortium to declare the results in terms of the single judge’s verdict.

On December 20 last year, a Delhi High Court directed the consortium to revise the result of CLAT 2025 over errors in the CLAT UG 2025 answer key. The single judge bench found the answers to two questions in the entrance test wrong. The plea had challenged the CLAT answer key 2025 while seeking a direction to declare correct answers to certain questions.

The CLAT 2025 exam was held on December 1 for admissions in five-year LLB courses in NLUs and CLAT 2025 result was declared on December 7.
