Delhi HC grants relief to CLAT-PG candidates over answer key dispute
The Delhi High Court on Friday provided partial relief to candidates who had challenged the final answer key of the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT)-PG 2025, citing discrepancies in a few questions. While disposing of three petitions by students seeking rectification of alleged errors in the answer key, the court ruled in favour of the students in two questions and upheld the Consortium of National Law Universities' (NLUs) stance on a third. It directed the Consortium to revise the scoring accordingly and declare the results. The batch of petitions by the students sought directions to the Consortium to rectify alleged errors in the final answer key of the CLAT-PG for the academic year 2024-25 and to re-issue the results after the necessary corrections. Additionally, they challenged the fee of ₹1,000 per question for raising objections to the provisional answer key, terming it excessive, and sought a direction to the Consortium to reconsider this charge. The court highlighted the issue of a high fee of Rs 1,000 charged by the consortium per question for raising the objection to the provisional answer key, observing there ought to be a 'fine balance' between the concerns of the candidates and the institutions. The court said its observation would be sufficient for the Consortium to take heed of and take appropriate steps to avoid such excessive fee in the next examinations, scheduled for the following years. 'In our considered opinion, it may be advisable for the Consortium to place this issue before the committee headed by Justice G. Raghuram (Retd.) for his valuable opinion which may be adhered to by it,' the court said. CLAT determines admissions to undergraduate and postgraduate law courses in national law universities in the country. CLAT PG 2025 was held on December 1, 2024. 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'.

Delhi HC directs NLU to avoid excessive fees, declare revised result
The Delhi High Court on Friday directed the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLU) to avoid charging 'excessive' fees for raising objections to questions in future Common Law Admission Tests (CLAT). The court also granted relief to postgraduate students who appeared for CLAT PG 2025 over alleged errors in the answer key and directed the Consortium to declare the revised results at the earliest. A bench comprising Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela disposed of a batch of petitions challenging the CLAT PG 2025 results, conducted on 1 December last year. The petitioners in the case were Anam Khan, Nitika, and Ayush Agrawal. They argued that while most national-level exams charge between ₹100 and ₹200 to challenge a question, the CLAT objection fee stood at ₹1,000 per question—an amount they described as excessive and arbitrary. While the court agreed that the fee was steep, it declined to quash the levy for this year's exam, noting that such a move could create complications and unnecessary litigation. 'Quashing such levy at this point in time may entail obstacles which may be unnecessary and may result in litigations which are not required,' the court stated. 'However, we expect that the aforesaid observations would be sufficient for the Consortium to take heed of and take appropriate steps to avoid such excessive fee in the next examinations, scheduled for the following years,' the bench added. The order follows a separate legal battle regarding the undergraduate version of the exam. In December 2024, a single judge found two questions in the CLAT UG 2025 paper to be erroneous and directed the Consortium to revise the result. That decision was later appealed before the High Court. On 23 April, Chief Justice Upadhyaya ruled on the appeal, ordering revisions to the result. However, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order on 7 May and directed the Consortium to issue a revised result, which was subsequently declared.
