CJI states that courts will only intervene in CLAT 2025 results if the answers are demonstrably incorrect

The Supreme Court on Wednesday stated that the higher forum would not intervene unless the answers are clearly wrong while suggesting that petitions relating to the CLAT 2025 in the various State High Courts essentially be transferred to one High Court for hearing and disposal. CLAT is a Common Law Admission Test for the purpose of gaining admission to under graduate and post graduate courses in law conducted by 24 National Law Universities across the country. Taken at the end of the five years, exam is conducted by the Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLU), consisting of representing Universities. Courts will not intercede unless the answers are wrong … That is the law,” The Chief Justice of India, Sanjiv Khanna with Sanjay Kumar as the other member of the Bench said. The matter was under hearing of a petition by CNLU that sought consolidation of various cases that are pending in the various High Courts on the grounds that indecision on them aggravated by uncertainty of outcome was delaying the admission process. But this Chief Justice Khanna did not oblige on the request to shift the case to the apex court. The CJI said that a previous application seeking a similar order had been dismissed by the apex court in December 2024. In that case, the petitioner was requested to proceed to the High Court. The Chief Justice apparenciaedly wanted all the PILs questioning the CLAT 2025 results to be transferred to the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The disposal rate has been found quite satisfactory where the subject court is the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Better than the others. That is why I suggested it,” the CJI said. Arguing for CNLU Solicitor General, Tushar Mehta supported the Karnataka High Court but he was willing to have a Division Bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court to dispose off the petitions.
