CLAT UG 2025: Delhi High Court Orders Revision Of Marksheets, Result Republish
CLAT UG 2025 Result: 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.
"We direct the respondent/consortium to revise the marksheet and to republish/renotify the final list of selected candidates within four weeks from the date," the bench said.
It clarified that the consortium should apply the evaluation to each appellant and petitioner and the candidates who might have attempted certain questions under the court's consideration.
The consortium, the court said, should also apply the evaluation to all the candidates to whom certain benefits could be granted in view of the analysis.
The bench, as a result, disposed of the petitions and appeals pointing out certain errors in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) UG-2025 questionnaire. The appeals were filed by the aspirants and the consortium challenging a single judge's order.
The court on April 9 concluded the hearing of the lawyers for the petitioner aspirants, who appeared in the exam in December 2024, and Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLUs) and reserved its order.
The court heard arguments on the questions which were under challenge in the petitions and is yet to hear pleas challenging the questions of 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 that 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.
Several students wanted the cases to be transferred to the Delhi High Court, saying it passed a favourable order for some petitioners by identifying errors in two questions of the CLAT-UG 2025 exam and directing the consortium to revise their results.
On December 20, 2024, a Delhi High Court's single judge bench directed the consortium to revise the result of CLAT-2025 over the errors in the answer key.
The single judge's verdict, which came on the plea of a CLAT aspirant, ruled that the answers to two questions in the entrance test were wrong.
The plea challenged the answer key published by the consortium on December 7, 2024, while seeking a direction to declare correct answers to certain questions.
The single judge bench said the errors were "demonstrably clear" and "shutting a blind eye" would amount to injustice.
While the aspirant challenged the single judge's order which refused his prayer over the other two questions, the consortium also moved the division bench of the Delhi High Court against the single judge's decision.
On December 24, 2024, the division bench refused to pass any interim order after prima facie finding no error with the single judge's order over the two questions and said the consortium was free to declare the results in terms of the judge's decision.

Supreme Court refuses to reduce sentence of advocate who abused woman magistrate in 2015
The Supreme Court Tuesday decided not to interfere with a Delhi High Court order which refused to reduce the sentence awarded to an advocate for outraging the modesty of a woman judicial officer in 2015, and granted him two weeks to surrender. A bench of Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Manmohan recorded that it is 'not inclined to interfere with the orders' passed by the Delhi High Court against advocate Sanjay Rathore and dismissed his plea. In October 2015, the complainant judicial officer was serving as a metropolitan magistrate in the Karkardooma court when Rathore, enraged by an adjournment in his matter in his absence, verbally abused the officer, including using gendered abusive language. An FIR was subsequently lodged at the Farsh Bazar police station. Rathore was sentenced to 18 months of imprisonment under Indian Penal Code Section 509 (intending to outrage modesty of a woman), three months under Section 189 (injury to public servant), and an additional three months under Section 353 (assault or criminal force against public servant to deter them from their duty). It was directed that the sentences should run consecutively, thereby resulting in a total sentence of two years. The Delhi High Court, while refusing to reduce the sentence, however, modified it so that the sentences could run concurrently instead of consecutively. As a result, Rathore was sentenced to a total of one year and six months in prison. The high court, in its order of May 26, emphasised that acts threatening or intimidating a judge, especially through 'gender-specific abuse, is an assault on justice itself, and must be met with firm accountability'. While refusing Rathore any relief, it further recorded in its order, 'The act of outraging the modesty of a judicial officer while she was presiding over court proceedings, seated on the dais and discharging her solemn duty of dispensing justice, in this court's opinion, attacks the very foundation of judicial decorum and the institutional integrity.'

Delhi government empowers authorities to impose heavy fines and restrict fee hikes by private schools
NEW DELHI: The Delhi Cabinet on Tuesday approved an ordinance on regulating fee structure in private schools that empowers the city government to impose fines of up to Rs 10 lakh them and even take away their right to propose fee revision if they violate norms. Addressing a press conference, Delhi's Education Minister Ashish Sood said that the cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta approved the ordinance, which is based on the proposed Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Bill, 2025. "The ordinance will be sent for presidential assent through the Lieutenant Governor. This is a day of happiness for parents whose children study in private schools. It will eventually take the form of a law," Sood said. He said this decision of the Delhi government will prove to be very important in the future to curb any arbitrary fee hike by 1,677 private schools in Delhi. According to the draft ordinance that was approved by the cabinet on April 29, there are strict penalties for schools involved in hiking fees arbitrarily, including losing the right to propose fee revisions. The draft ordinance states that if a school is found charging fees that exceed the permitted norms, it must roll back the excess amount and refund it within 20 working days. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo For a first offence, the school will be fined between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 5 lakh. For repeat offences, the penalty will increase to anywhere between Rs 2 lakh and Rs 10 lakh. The draft ordinance proposes that if the school fails to refund the amount within the stipulated time, the fine will double after 20 days, triple after 40 days, and continue to increase with every 20-day delay. It also has provisions for penalties on those who indulge in repeated violations. Those found repeatedly flouting norms may also be barred from holding official posts within the school management, according to the draft ordinance. Additionally, the school management could lose the right to propose fee revisions in the future. The draft ordinance says it aims to strike a balance between preserving the autonomy of private institutions and safeguarding the rights of parents, ensuring that quality education remains both accessible and fairly priced. The draft ordinance proposes the constitution of three committees to oversee the fee regulation process -- one each at the school, district, and revision levels. The highest authority, the 'Revision Committee', will have the final say on any disputes or decisions related to school fees. This committee will be headed by the Director of Education, an eminent educationist, a chartered accountant, the Controller of Accounts, representatives from schools and parents, and a former education official. Its decisions will be binding on all parties for a period of three years. The 'District Committee' will be chaired by the District Director of Education. Other members will include the Deputy Director of Education of the zone, two school principals nominated by the Directorate of Education (DoE) and two parents' representatives also nominated by the DoE. This committee will be responsible for resolving disputes between school management and the School Level Fee Regulation Committees. Every private unaided school including those offering Indian and foreign curricula, as well as minority institutions or those allocated land at concessional rates will be required to establish a 'School Level Fee Regulation Committee' each academic year by July 15, according to the draft ordinance. This committee will be chaired by a school management representative, with the Principal serving as Secretary. Other members will include three teachers, five parents (chosen by a draw of lots), and one nominee from the DoE. The ordinance also specifies that the committee must include at least one member from the SC/ST/OBC categories and at least two women. Its tenure will last one academic year. Appeals regarding fee-related decisions can first be taken to the District Committee. Furthermore, any aggrieved party including parents, school management, or the School Level Committee can escalate the matter to the Revision Committee, which the government will officially notify. According to the draft ordinance, the list of committee members must be displayed within seven working days of formation. The committee is required to conduct a general meeting before August 15 and carry out its functions as per the Act. Parents cannot serve on the committee for more than two consecutive years, and a two-year gap is mandatory before being eligible for nomination again, it mentioned. The draft ordinance also grants schools the autonomy to propose fees but within a set framework. For the academic year 2025-26, the fees already charged from April 1, 2025, will be treated as the proposed fees. However, as per the draft ordinance, any school whose recognition has been suspended, or which has been found guilty of violating the Act or penalised twice in succession under Section 14, will not be allowed to propose any fee hikes.
