In a significant development, the Supreme Court on
Thursday transferred all petitions challenging the 2025 Common Law Admission
Test (CLAT) results to a division bench of the Delhi High Court.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and
Justices Sanjay Kumar and K V Viswanathan ordered that all the petitions will
be taken up by the high court on March 3.
The top court directed registrars of several high
courts, including those of Bombay, Karnataka, Punjab and Haryana, Madhya
Pradesh and Calcutta, to transfer the judicial records of pending cases to the
Delhi High Court within seven days.
On January 15, the bench had indicated that it might
transfer all the petitions to one high court, preferably the Punjab and Haryana
HC.
CLAT, conducted on December 1, 2024, determines
admissions to undergraduate and postgraduate law courses.
Several pleas were filed in different high courts
alleging that several questions in the undergraduate exam were wrong.
Petitions were also filed challenging the CLAT
results for admissions in PG courses.
