CLAT 2025 Hearing: Delhi HC directs NLUs to revise CLAT UG results; fresh merit list in four weeks
CLAT 2025 Hearing: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday directed the Consortium of National Law Universities to revise the marksheets and republish the final list of selected candidates of CLAT UG-2025 within four weeks. A bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela accepted certain objections of the candidates while rejecting some of them.
The judgement came on a batch of petitions pointing out certain errors in the common law admission test (CLAT) UG-2025 questionnaire.
A detailed order is awaited.
The court on April 9 concluded hearing the lawyers for petitioner aspirants, who appeared in the exam in December 2024, and Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLUs) and reserved its order. The court had heard arguments on the questions which are under challenge in the petitions.
It is yet to hear the petitions which have challenged certain questions in CLAT PG- 2025. CLAT determines admissions to undergraduate and postgraduate law courses in national law universities in the country.
Multiple pleas were filed in different high courts alleging several questions in the exam were wrong. On February 6, the Supreme Court transferred all the petitions over the issue to the Delhi High Court for a 'consistent adjudication'.
The top court passed the direction on the transfer petitions of CNLUs. The CLAT, 2025 for admissions in five-year LLB courses in NLUs was held on December 1 and results were declared on December 7, 2024.

Encroachers can't claim right to occupy public land during rehab: Delhi High Court
NEW DELHI: A nearly 30-year-old slum cluster in South Delhi's Kalkaji is set for demolition after the Delhi High Court ruled that encroachers cannot indefinitely occupy public land while their rehabilitation claims are pending. The court observed that permitting such occupation would obstruct crucial public works and development projects. The order, delivered on June 6 by Justice Dharmesh Sharma, came while hearing a batch of petitions filed by residents of Bhoomiheen Camp, an informal settlement largely inhabited by migrants from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal. Around 1,200 people had approached the court seeking a stay on demolition, asking the DDA to maintain status quo and not evict them until they were surveyed and rehabilitated under the 2015 Delhi Slum and JJ Rehabilitation and Relocation Policy. The court, however, dismissed their plea, noting that the petitions were flawed due to improper clubbing of multiple parties and causes of action. It further stated that the petitioners had failed to meet the eligibility conditions under the 2015 policy to qualify for rehabilitation. 'None of the petitioners have any legal right to continue occupying the JJ cluster incessantly, to the detriment of the public at large,' the court said, adding that the right to rehabilitation arises only from policy, not from the Constitution. It also clarified that removal of encroachments and eligibility for rehabilitation are separate processes and pending claims cannot justify delaying demolition. The court allowed the DDA to proceed with demolition as per law and directed that eligible residents be allotted flats under EWS category.

Delhi CM assures no slum demolition without proper housing, warns against false rumours
NEW DELHI: Amid uproar over slum demolitions across the city, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta assured that no slum will be demolished without first providing proper housing. She also warned that FIRs will be registered against those spreading false rumours about demolitions. The CM clarified that most anti-encroachment actions are being undertaken in compliance with court orders and are aimed at removing illegal occupations obstructing traffic or hindering public movement. Notably, a demolition drive was carried out on Sunday at Madrasi Camp, a six-decade-old settlement in South Delhi's Jangpura, as part of the Delhi High Court's directive under the Barapullah Drain Decongestion Project. The civic initiative seeks to mitigate flooding and waterlogging in South and Central Delhi during the monsoon. The demolition razed 370 homes. While 215 families were allotted rehabilitation flats in Narela's Pocket 4 and 5—over 35 kilometres away on Delhi's northern edge—155 families were declared ineligible for resettlement. The chief minister emphasised that citizens living in slums also have the right to live with dignity, and the Delhi Government is working with full commitment toward this goal. The chief minister gave the statement on Sunday while inaugurating and inspected various development projects in Nehru Camp in Haiderpur, Ekta Camp in Pitampura, and the area near U and V Blocks of JJ Cluster in the Shalimar Bagh Assembly constituency. The CM also reviewed key works such as laying pipelines and construction of new roads in these areas. The CM reiterated her government's commitment to ensuring that every resident of Delhi's slums has access to basic amenities such as clean water, proper roads, public toilets, and parks. She also inaugurated the construction of a 24-seater Jan Suvidha Kendra at Nehru Camp in Haiderpur. She said the facility will help address the long-standing toilet shortage, particularly benefiting women, children, and senior citizens by offering safe and clean sanitation.
