CLAT UG 2025: Petitioner seeks transfer of case to Supreme Court; next hearing on January 30

NEW DELHI : Candidates challenging the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) UG 2025 results will now approach the Supreme Court seeking a transfer of cases and the matter has been adjourned until January 30, as per a Bar and Bench report. The Delhi High Court had ordered a revision of the CLAT UG 2025 merit list after the petitioners claimed errors in the CLAT UG 2024 answer key.

Since similar pleas are pending before the other high courts, the petitioners will move the top court for transfer of all such cases, the petitioner’s counsel reportedly told a bench of Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, while asking for the postponement of CLAT hearing.

Notably, the Consortium of National Law Universities has already decided to challenge the Delhi HC ruling in the apex court, arguing that the single-judge bench should not have interfered in the case of CLAT UG answer key prepared by experts.

During the last hearing, the high court refused to intervene in the single-judge order and to pass an interim order, after the petitioner sought a revision. The bench, comprising two judges, prima facie found no error in the view taken by the single judge with respect to the two questions challenged in the court. The candidate urged for direction to change three more answers in the provisional key.

On December 20, the Delhi High Court ordered the NLU Consortium to publish a revised CLAT UG result 2024 after noting errors in two of the answers. The petitioner Aditya Singh had alleged discrepancies in the answers with respect to question number 14, 37, 67, 68 and 100 of question paper set-A.
