April 24, 2025 - The Delhi High Court yesterday, April 23, directed the Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLUs) to revise the CLAT 2025 (Common Law Admission Test) mark sheets and release a new merit list within four weeks. This ruling came following petitions filed in seven High Courts over errors in the CLAT UG 2025 question paper for the exam held on December 1, 2024. The results had been announced on December 7 and was challenged in multiple High Courts.

A Division Bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela gave this ruling while hearing petitions filed in the Delhi, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Bombay, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab-Haryana High Courts.

The CLAT UG exam was for admission to five-year undergraduate law programmes in various National Law Universities across India.

On February 6, the Supreme Court had ordered that all pending matters related to CLAT be heard by the Delhi High Court for a “consistent adjudication”. Following this, the Delhi High Court completed hearings on April 9 and reserved its verdict.

On December 20, 2024, a single Bench of the Delhi High Court had directed the Consortium to re-issue the exam results after identifying errors in certain answers. Now, the Division Bench has delivered its final decision accepting certain objections but rejecting others.
