The Delhi High Court on Tuesday refused to intervene
in an order directing the Consortium of National Law Universities to revise the
result of CLAT-2025 over errors in the answer key.
A bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru
and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela while dealing with an appeal by the consortium
against the decision of a high court single judge opined no case for an interim
order was made out.
The bench prima facie found no error in the view
taken by the single judge with respect to two questions and clarified the
consortium was free to declare the results in terms of the single judge's
decision.
"Single judge examined two questions
carefully... Prima facie we concur with the said view," the court said,
"you can proceed with the result. There is no interim order." The
court posted the matter on January 7, 2025.
On December 20, the single judge's verdict came on
the plea of a CLAT aspirant and ruled the answers to two questions in the
entrance test were wrong.
The plea challenged the answer key published by the
consortium on December 7 and sought a direction for declaration of the correct
answers to certain questions.
The single judge said the errors were "demonstrably clear" and
"shutting a blind eye to them" would amount to injustice.
