    The Supreme Court heard the CLAT 2025 result petition filed by candidate Aditya Singh on February 6 and ordered that all the cases related to CLAT UG 2025 results pending before various HCs be transferred to the Delhi High Court. The Supreme Court was hearing the Consortium of NLUs petition to transfer the cases to a single HC to avoid contradictory verdicts on the same issue and it may delay the release of the revised CLAT 2025 results. However, the next CLAT 2025 hearing will be held at Delhi High Court on March 3, 2024. The hearing is important in the context of CLAT 2025 counselling which has been stalled due to numerous CLAT 2025 court cases filed across the country. Candidates may have to wait a little longer to know the revised CLAT 2025 result and the admission process. Read on to find out what the outcome of the CLAT 2025 Supreme Court hearing will be and the future course of action for students.

    CLAT 2025 SC Hearing Latest Update

    What did the SC Hearing Decide?

    In the CLAT 2025 SC Hearing on February 6, a bench comprising Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justice PV Sanjay Kumar passed the order in a transfer petition filed by the Consortium of National Law Universities. The Supreme Court directed: "List before Delhi High Court on March 3. Within 7 days of this order registrar of each High Court should send the papers (of the concerned case pending before them) to Delhi High Court,".

    Now, all the petitions concerning the CLAT UG exam are pending before Delhi, Rajasthan and Punjab and Haryana High Courts will be handled by the Delhi High Court.

    In its last hearing conducted on January 15, the SC refused to entertain the candidate’s plea and indicated that all the CLAT 2025 cases pending at various High Courts may be transferred to the Punjab and Haryana HC. The SC passed an order as under:

    "Prima facie, we are of the opinion that the writ petitions pending in different High Courts should be dealt with by one High 1 TP(C) Nos. 46-54/2025 Court, as it would be expeditious and would also prevent contradictory judgments. Issue notice on the prayer for transfer as well as on the application for appointment of a guardian, returnable in the week commencing 03.02.2025. Notice will be served through the counsel, who are appearing for the respective writ petitioners before different High Courts. Notwithstanding the pendency of the present petition, the parties may complete the pleadings in the respective writ petitions."

    Court Verdict So Far on CLAT 2025 Answer Key and Result

    So far, the Delhi HC has made two changes in the CLAT 2025 UG answer key based on the petition filed by Aditya Singh and directed the Consortium of NLUs to publish the revised result. However, the candidate has moved to the SC as three of his remaining objections were rejected by the HC. The consortium is opposing the HC verdict and argues that the CLAT 2025 answer key is prepared by experts and that the court cannot act as an academic expert and interfere in the matter.
