The Delhi High Court on April 9, 2025, reserved its order on petitions challenging errors in the CLAT UG 2025 questionnaire. The petitions were filed by students who appeared in the December 2024 exam, alleging mistakes in the test. The court heard arguments from the petitioners' lawyers and the Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLUs).
The court also set April 21 for hearing-related pleas against questions in the CLAT PG 2025 exam. Earlier, the Supreme Court transferred all petitions concerning CLAT errors to the Delhi High Court for consistent handling. In December 2024, the Delhi High Court ruled that two questions in the UG exam were wrong, leading the consortium to revise the results.
Objections Received in CLAT 2025 Final Answer Key
The Single Bench of the Delhi High Court has accepted two objections against the CLAT 2025 final answer key. Later, the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court agreed with the earlier decision. One question's answer has been changed, and another has been removed. The effect of this decision on the CLAT 2025 results depends on whether the Consortium of NLUs chooses to challenge it in the Supreme Court. The candidate had raised five objections in total, two of which were accepted, and three were rejected. Below are the details of the court's decision.
