CLAT 2025 Result Revision: Court case arguments, impact on candidates, latest updates
The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2025 results are currently under judicial review due to identified errors in the final answer key. This situation has led to legal challenges and significant implications for candidates awaiting admission to National Law Universities (NLUs).
Court Proceedings and Arguments:
- Initial Petition: Aditya Singh, a 17-year-old CLAT aspirant, filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, highlighting inaccuracies in the final answer key released on December 7, 2024. He contended that these errors adversely affected his scores and his prospects of securing admission to top NLUs.
- High Court Ruling: On December 20, 2024, Justice Jyoti Singh acknowledged clear mistakes in two questions (Nos. 14 and 100 in Set A) and directed the Consortium of NLUs to revise the results accordingly. The court ordered that candidates who selected the correct option for question 14 be awarded marks, and question 100 be excluded from evaluation.
- Consortium’s Response: The Consortium of NLUs challenged this directive, expressing concerns that revising the results could disrupt the admission process for over 70,000 candidates. They have approached the Supreme Court seeking relief from the High Court’s order.
- Current Status: The Delhi High Court has adjourned the matter to January 30, 2025, as the petitioner plans to request the Supreme Court to transfer the case, given similar cases pending in other High Courts.
Impact on Candidates:
- Counselling Delays: The CLAT 2025 counselling process has been put on hold pending the Supreme Court’s decision, causing uncertainty among candidates awaiting admission.
- Potential Result Revisions: If the court upholds the directive to revise the results, candidates’ scores and ranks may change, potentially affecting their eligibility for admission to preferred NLUs.
Latest Updates:
- Supreme Court Hearing: The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the plea regarding the revision of CLAT 2025 results on January 15, 2025. The outcome of this hearing will significantly influence the admission process and timelines.
Candidates are advised to stay informed through official channels and await further announcements regarding the counselling schedule and any potential revisions to the results.
