Last year The opening and closing ranks for the general category for the B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) course were 656–1390, and for the OBC category they were 2068–2940. The closing ranks for the first and last rounds of the B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) course were 1233 and 1390, respectively.

BUT keep checking websites of each university on regular intervals. What generally happens is, students take admission and then they leave the university. This happens around a month after the admission. In such a case University calls up for individual applications. It is not necessary that the University will call up for next best rank to fill up the seat. So if you get such notification, apply right away.



Secondly, you don't need to be disheartened. You can join any private college for now or keep preparing for CLAT 2026. Since age is not the bar now, you can give CLAT any number of times.


All the best :)

GC-KA in the CLAT merit list refers to General Category - Karnataka. This classification indicates that the candidate belongs to the General Category and holds domicile from Karnataka. Many law universities have a state domicile reservation, meaning they reserve a certain percentage of seats for candidates who are residents of that state. If you fall under GC-KA, you are eligible to apply for seats under this quota. To claim the Karnataka domicile quota, it’s crucial to provide proper documentation during the application process. These documents typically include a domicile certificate, proof of residence, or any other government-issued document verifying your Karnataka residency. If your name appears under GC-KA, you must ensure you meet all requirements and deadlines for document verification to secure admission. This classification is essential as it impacts the seat allotment process for Karnataka candidates in NLU seats.

Hi Jaya,

Based on your OBC category rank of 4,700 in CLAT and your domicile in Kerala, securing admission to the National University of Advanced Legal Studies (NUALS) in Kochi may be challenging.

Historically, NUALS has had competitive cutoffs, especially for the BA LLB (Hons) program.

For instance, in the 2023 admissions cycle, the closing ranks for the BA LLB (Hons) program were as follows:

  • General (All India): 1,461
  • General (Home State): 1,769
  • OBC (Home State): 16,177

Although, admission trends vary each year due to factors like seat availability, applicant pool, and reservation policies. Hence, you can look for other potential options like -

1. National Law University, Assam (NLUJAA)

2. Hidayatullah National Law University, Raipur (HNLU)

3. Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University, Visakhapatnam (DSNLU)

4. Tamil Nadu National Law University, Tiruchirappalli (TNNLU)

5. Government Law College, Ernakulam

  3. Legal Representatives: The contracts which do not involve any personal skill or taste, may be performed by his legal representative after the death of the promisor.
  4. Third Person: In some cases, a contract may be performed by a third person provided the promisee accepts the arrangement.

Section 43 of the Indian Contract Act further provides that unless a contrary intention appears from the contract, each joint promisor may compel every other joint promisor to contribute equally to the performance of the promise. If any joint promisor makes a default in such contribution, the remaining joint promisors must bear the loss arising from such default in equal shares.

Natural justice is another name for common sense justice rules of natural justice are not in codified form these principles are embedded or ingrained or inbuilt in the conscience of human beings. It supplies the omission made in codified law and helps in the administration of justice. Natural justice is not only confined to ‘fairness’ it will take many shades and colours based on the context. Thus natural justice apart from ‘fairness’ also implies reasonableness, equity and equality. They are neither cast in a rigid mould nor can they be put in a legal straitjacket. These principles written by nature in the heart of mankind, they are immutable, inviolable, and inalienable.

It is true that the concept of natural justice is not very clear and, therefore, it is not possible to define it; yet the principles of natural justice are accepted and enforced. In the case of Ridge V. Baldwin Court observed that “in modern times have sometimes been expressed to the effect that natural justice is as vague as to be practically meaningless. But I would regard these as tainted by the perennial fallacy that because something cannot be cut and dried or nicely weighed or measured therefore it does not exist”. The term natural justice signifies fundamental rules of judicial procedure and fair play in action. According to Lord Widgery “the principles of natural justice were those fundamental rules; the breach will prevent justice from being seen to be done”. Earliest expression of ‘natural justice’ could be found in the philosophical expression of Roman Jurist (jus natural) and signified rules and principles for the conduct of man which were independent of enacted law or customs and could be discovered by the rational intelligence of man and would grow out of and conform to his nature.

The rule against bias that surfaced in 1610 in Dr Bonham's Casewhere Chief Justice Coke went so far as to say that the Court could declare an Act of Parliament void if it made a man as judge in his own cause, or otherwise ‘against common right and reason’. This was one of his grounds for disallowing the claim of the College of Physicians to fine and imprison Doctor Bonham, a Doctor of Physics of Cambridge University, for practising in the city of London without the licence of College of Physicians. The statute under which the College acted provided that fines should go half to the King half to the College so that the College had a financial interest in its own judgement and was judged in its own cause.

In the case of M/S Halonex Limited, 59-A Noida vs State of U.P., it was held that “In reply to the aforesaid submission, learned counsel for opposite party no.2 submitted that the case of the applicants that no amount is due from their side to the complainant is a matter of defence which cannot be considered at this stage. It has been submitted that the term 'entrustment' as used in Section 405 IPC has been given a wider interpretation. It has been submitted that the goods returned by the complainant to the Company for replacement or for reimbursement would be deemed to have been entrusted to the Company and as the applicants 2 & 3 were handling its affair they become responsible. To buttress the said submission, the learned counsel for the complainant drew the attention of the Court to a decision of the Apex Court in the case of Ram Narayan Popli Vs. Central Bureau of Investigation: (2003) 3 SCC 641, wherein it was observed that: "the term "entrustment" is not necessarily a term of law. It may have different implications in different contexts. In its most general signification all it imports is the handing over possession for some purpose which may not imply the conferring of any proprietary right at all." Attention was also drawn to an observation made in the judgment of the aforesaid case, where it was observed that: "to establish the charge of criminal breach of trust, the prosecution is not obliged to prove the precise mode of conversion, misappropriation or misapplication by the accused of the property entrusted to him or over which he has dominion. The principal ingredient of the offence being dishonest misappropriation or conversion which may not ordinarily be a matter of direct proof, entrustment of property and failure in breach of an obligation to account for the property entrusted if proved, may, in the light of other circumstances, justifiably lead to an inference of dishonest misappropriation or conversion”.
