Two New Cases in Hearing
Two new cases, Shivraj Sharma vs. Consortium of NLUs and Yajat Sen vs. Consortium of NLUs, have been added to the list of pending cases. This brings the number of pending cases in CLAT 2025 to 15.
After three continuous days of hearings on CLAT 2025 cases, the Delhi HC reserved its verdict on the batch of cases indicating errors in the CLAT 2025 undergraduate (UG) exam on April 9. A bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela heard the objections raised by each petitioner and enquired if they were raised with the Consortium of NLUs within the 24-hour timeline given for filing objections.
In the CLAT 2025 hearing on April 9, a candidate appeared before the court through virtual mode to argue his case himself. He alleged that the legal reasoning passage questions on Contract Law were out of the syllabus since they would require the candidate to have prior knowledge of legal terms such as void/voidable agreements, consideration, etc. "You are testing legal understanding of a Class 12th student. He would not know consideration. This is for the experts to decide, but I don't know. Will it be possible for a Class 12 student to know the meaning of consideration under Contract Law? said the Chief Justice to the Consortium.
Further, one learned counsel also raised the issue of not being given permission to underline on the question paper during the exam, to which the court asked the counsel of Consortium to strengthen their grievance redressal mechanism and file a proper affidavit addressing the underlining issue. The other matter that has been separated is regarding a candidate seeking a change from the general to the reserved category. However, the Delhi HC segregated these two petitions from the CLAT 2025 UG cases, directing that they would be heard separately. The judges later said, "With respect to the PG matters, the court will commence hearing on the next date, April 21,".
The Delhi HC is set to play an important role in determining whether the results will be revised. Previously, on December 20, 2024, a single-judge bench of the Delhi HC identified errors in two questions (14 and 100 in Set A) and directed the consortium to revise the results. The consortium appealed this decision, but the division bench found no apparent error in the single judge ruling. If the court rules in favor of the petitioners, the CLAT results are indeed likely to be revised, impacting candidates’ ranks and the subsequent counselling schedule. However, the CLAT 2025 results are likely to be revised by adjusting scores for at least two questions, impacting rankings and delaying the NLU admissions.
Hello,
Yes, you can take part in CLAT counselling even if you passed through a supplementary exam. But make sure you have your final passing marksheet or result before the admission process starts.
Most colleges will ask for proof that you have passed your Class 12 before giving final admission. So, if your result comes out in time, you won’t face any problem.
Hope it helps !
