Delhi High Court Proposes To Decide Pleas Challenging CLAT UG 2025 Results At Earliest

The Delhi High Court on Monday proposed that it will complete hearing at the earliest, the batch of petitions challenging the results of the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) UG examination 2025, held in December last year for admissions to undergraduate law course in various National Law Universities.

A division bench comprising Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela said that there was an urgency in hearing challenge to CLAT UG 2025 results and that the same must be decided before vacations.

“There is a concern. There is urgency as far as UG exams are concerned. What we propose to do is, we would complete hearing [petitions concerning UG exam] at the earliest so that results are declared…. [hearing in] UG may start and PG we will see what can be done,” CJ Upadhyaya said.

He added: “Let's start the hearing, at least UG matters…We have to decide before vacations.”

Senior Advocate Rajshekhar Rao appeared for the Consortium of NLUs and made some submissions regarding the impugned questions in CLAT UG 2025 exam.

The matter will continued to be heard tomorrow.

The pleas were filed in various High Courts across the country and were transferred by the Supreme Court to the Delhi High Court. The transfer petition was filed by the Consortium of National Law Universities.

The petitions were pending in the High Courts of Delhi, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Bombay, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab & Haryana against the results of the CLAT-2025 test held in December 2024.

Previously, the Supreme Court had expressed inclination to transfer the matters to the Punjab and Haryana High Court as the first petition was filed there.

In December 2024, a single judge of the Delhi High Court found that two answers of the CLAT-UG 2025 exam were wrong and asked the Consortium to revise the results of the petitioners. When the Consortium appealed against the single bench's decision, the division bench remarked that they prima facie did not find any error in the single bench's decision.
