Supreme Court’s Directive

On February 6, a bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justices Sanjay Kumar and K V Viswanathan issued the order, scheduling the hearing for March 3, 2025. The directive mandates that registrars from multiple high courts—including those of Bombay, Karnataka, Punjab and Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Calcutta—transfer judicial records of pending cases to the Delhi High Court within seven days.

Earlier, on January 15, the Supreme Court had hinted at the possibility of consolidating all petitions under a single high court, with the Punjab and Haryana High Court being the initial preference. However, the final decision placed the responsibility on the Delhi High Court.

Reason Behind the Petitions

The CLAT 2025 examination, conducted on December 1, 2024, serves as the gateway for admissions into prestigious undergraduate and postgraduate law programs across the country. However, multiple petitions were filed in various high courts, raising concerns about the accuracy of certain questions in the undergraduate exam. Additionally, there were legal challenges regarding the results for admissions to postgraduate law courses.

What’s Next?

With the Delhi High Court set to handle all CLAT 2025-related petitions, students and aspirants eagerly await further proceedings. The outcome of these cases could impact admission processes and potentially lead to re-evaluation or corrective measures.

For candidates affected by the controversy, staying updated on legal developments and university announcements is crucial. As the hearing date approaches, more clarity on the implications for law aspirants is expected.

Stay tuned for further updates on CLAT 2025 and legal education developments!
