In February, the Supreme Court ordered that all petitions challenging the CLAT results be transferred to the Delhi High Court to avoid conflicting rulings and streamline the proceedings.

The Delhi High Court is scheduled to hear petitions challenging the results of the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT 2025) today, April 7. The law entrance exam took place on December 1, 2024, with results announced on December 7. Since then, several petitions have been filed in various high courts, alleging errors in the question paper.

A bench led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna, along with justices Sanjay Kumar and KV Viswanathan, noted that similar challenges to the CLAT UG and PG results were pending in multiple high courts, including those of Bombay, Karnataka, Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Calcutta high courts.

In February, the Supreme Court ordered that all petitions challenging the CLAT results be transferred to the Delhi High Court to avoid conflicting rulings and streamline the proceedings. “The matters relating to the common law admission tests, PG and UG, will be transferred to a division bench of the Delhi High Court where a letter patent appeal is pending. The records are to be transferred expeditiously within seven days,” the bench said, reported PTI.

“We are also inclined to pass an omnibus order that in case of any other high court or in any other matter, the respondent/CNLUs is entitled to file a copy of this order before the high court for transfer of case to the Delhi High Court,” the bench added.

In the last hearing at Delhi HC, Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyay highlighted the need to resolve the matter immediately to relieve students of stress and anxiety.

On December 20, 2024, a Delhi HC single judge had directed the consortium to revise the result after identifying two errors in Set A of the question paper. “The errors in question Nos.14 and 100 are demonstrably clear and shutting a blind eye to the same would be an injustice to the petitioner albeit this Court is conscious of the fact that it may impact the result of other candidates,” Justice Jyoti Singh had said.
