The Supreme Court Wednesday stayed the Delhi High Court order asking the Consortium of National Law Universities to revise the marksheets, and republish the final list of selected candidates of CLAT-UG 2025 within four weeks.
A bench of Justice B R Gavai and Justice A G Masih passed the interim order while issuing notice on a Special Leave Petition challenging the April 23 High Court order.
The HC Division Bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and T R Gedela, had concluded that there were errors in B, C, and D set of question papers. It said, “Since the error has occurred on the part of the respondent/Consortium itself, while publishing Sets ‘B’, ‘C’ & ‘D’ of question papers, no fault can be found with the candidates for giving or not giving correct or incorrect answers.”.
“In view of the fair admission by the learned senior counsel on behalf of the respondent/Consortium, we direct that all the candidates who participated in CLAT UG 2025 with respect to the Sets ‘B’, ‘C’ & ‘D’ of question papers shall, as a consequence, be granted the marks indicated against the said question. Since Set ‘A’ did not have this error, we do not deem it fit to interfere with the marks obtained by all those candidates who answered correctly,” added the High Court bench.
A candidate who secured All India Rank 22 challenged this before the Supreme Court, saying that the High Court decision put the candidates who received the A Set Question Paper at a disadvantage when compared to the students who received the B, C and D sets, thereby robbing her of a level playing field.
