In a significant development regarding the Common Law Admission Test 2025 (CLAT-UG) results, petitioner Aditya Singh expressed his intention to the Delhi High Court on Tuesday to seek a transfer of his case to the Supreme Court. This move stems from similar issues pending in various High Courts across the country.
During a session presided over by Acting Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, Singh highlighted the nationwide implications of his challenge and the benefits of a consolidated hearing by the Supreme Court. Consequently, he requested an adjournment from the High Court, which the Bench granted.
The background of this case involves a ruling on December 20 by Justice Jyoti Singh, which addressed alleged errors in the examination paper used for undergraduate admissions to National Law Universities (NLUs). Justice Singh acknowledged clear mistakes in two of the five disputed questions and ordered the NLU Consortium to revise the results accordingly.
Both the Consortium and Singh have appealed this decision. The Consortium argues that the single-judge overstepped by assessing academic content, a task typically reserved for educational experts. Meanwhile, Singh seeks an extension of the ruling to include corrections in the remaining three questions he believes are also flawed.
The Division Bench, which convened on December 24, declined to stay the initial ruling, allowing the NLU Consortium to proceed with revising the results as directed. This decision came despite the appeals, citing no apparent errors in the single-judge’s findings.
