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.

CLAT UG 2025: SC 'anguished' over NLU consortium 'casual manner' to frame questions
New Delhi, The Supreme Court on Wednesday expressed anguish over the "casual manner" in which the Consortium of National Law Universities was framing questions for the Common Law Admission Test . CLAT UG 2025: SC 'anguished' over NLU consortium 'casual manner' to frame questions A bench of Justices B R Gavai and Augustine George Masih, which pointed out mistakes related to some of the questions in the CLAT UG-2025, was hearing a plea filed by an aspirant challenging the Delhi High Court's April 23 verdict. The high court had previously directed the consortium to revise the marksheets and republish the final list of selected candidates of CLAT UG-2025 within four weeks. "At the outset, we must express our anguish at the casual manner in which the respondent number one has been framing the questions for the CLAT examination which involves the career aspirations of lakhs of students in the country," the top court said. The CLAT 2025 for admissions to five-year law courses in national law universities was held on December 1 last year and the results were declared on December 7. The petitioner claimed being aggrieved by the high court verdict directing revision of marksheets. The top court said in matters of academia, court was always "very slow" in interfering as it did not possess the expertise in such issues. "When academicians themselves err in such a manner which affects the careers of lakhs of students, the court is left with no other option," it added. The bench said it was clear from the high court's verdict that several questions were found not suitable and, therefore, the high court passed an order in relation to the several questions. The apex court dealt with six questions in the matter. On one of the questions over environmental issues, the bench referred to the answer key which said the fundamental duty to preserve and protect natural resources was only upon the state. "It is totally wrong," the bench said, "time and again, the apex court has emphasised the duty of the state as well as the citizens to preserve and protect the natural resources". It directed the consortium to give a positive marking to all such candidates who chose option C and D in the answer key. The bench said those who chose option A and B, would be marked negatively. The apex court further set aside the high court's direction for deleting another question and ordered the consortium to give marks to those who chose option B in the answer key. The bench was in agreement with the high court on another question and said C was the correct option. On two more questions, the bench observed the consortium on its own deleted one of them. The top court found "not much difference between the two" and ordered deletion of the other. Two more questions one entailing a detailed mathematical analysis were ordered to be deleted. The bench referred to its June 2018 order in another case highlighting improper conduct of CLAT 2018. In the judgement, it said, the top court directed the Centre to appoint a committee to look into the issue and take remedial measures including penal action, if any, against the body entrusted with the task. Though the judgement came in June 2018, it noted, the Centre took no steps. The bench then issued a notice to the Centre for its response and posted the matter on May 16. During the hearing, the bench asked why a permanent mechanism for conducting CLAT did not exist. On April 30, the apex court stayed the high court verdict directing the consortium to revise the marksheets and republish the final list of selected candidates of CLAT UG-2025 within four weeks. Multiple pleas were filed in different high courts, alleging errors in the questions but on February 6, the Supreme Court transferred all cases to the Delhi High Court for a "consistent adjudication" after the Consortium of National Law Universities filed transfer petitions. On December 20, 2024, a Delhi High Court single judge bench directed the consortium to revise the result of CLAT-2025 over the errors in the answer key and then following a challenge the court's division bench on April 23 accepted certain objections of the candidates while rejecting some of them. The high court is yet to hear pleas challenging the questions of CLAT PG-2025. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
