    The Delhi HC will issue the CLAT UG judgement on April 23, 2025. If there will be some update regarding judgement for petitions related to CLAT UG, then the wait for the resumption of CLAT counselling 2025 is expected to be over. Earlier, the Delhi HC has postponed the CLAT PG 2025 hearing to May 2, 2025. The three petitions in CLAT PG exam listed on April 21 did not come up for hearing. With a revised hearing date, it remains to be seen whether the CLAT 2025 counselling begins in April or May 2025.

    When Will CLAT UG Judgement Come?

    The Delhi HC will issue the CLAT UG judgement on April 23. After concluding the CLAT UG hearings, the Delhi HC reserved the judgement for the cases without specifying any date. There are no specific rules about when a reserved judgement should be released. However, during the CLAT UG hearings the HC had acknowledged the urgency of the matter and expressed its commitment to resolve the matter as fast as possible. It remains to be seen whether HC pronounces the judgement in the CLAT UG matter on May 2 or before that.

    As per the existing rules, candidates have the option to request faster judgement if the judgement is not released 3 months after it was reserved. If the judgement is not released 6 months after it was reserved, the petitioners can file a prayer to transfer the cases to a different bench.

    CLAT 2025 Counselling to Start Next Month?

    The Consortium of National Law Universities has delayed the start of CLAT 2025 counselling and the publication of the CLAT 2025 merit list. It is also challenging the petitions filed by the candidates. With the CLAT 2025 hearings now being moved to May 2025, it is expected that the CLAT counselling process is also likely to start only next month. However, the judgement in for CLAT UG cases is scheduled to come on April 23.

    It also remains to be seen if the CLAT 2025 results are revised, whether the Consortium will open the counselling registrations and allow the candidates to file fresh NLU preferences as per the revised result.
