The Supreme Court is set to hear the case concerning the revision of CLAT 2025 results on January 15, 2025. The legal proceedings follow a dispute over errors identified in the CLAT 2025 final answer key, which led to demands for re-evaluation and result corrections. The matter, originally brought before the Delhi High Court, has now reached the apex court after the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) challenged the lower court's directive to revise the results.
The controversy began when Aditya Singh, a CLAT 2025 aspirant, filed a petition citing inaccuracies in the final answer key published on December 7, 2024. He argued that the discrepancies adversely affected his scores and potentially impacted his chances of admission to top NLUs. The Delhi High Court ruled in Singh’s favor on December 24, 2024, instructing the Consortium to address the errors and publish corrected results.
Following the High Court’s order, the Consortium approached the Supreme Court, seeking a stay on the directive, arguing that revising the results could disrupt the admission process for thousands of candidates. As a result, the CLAT 2025 counselling process remains on hold, awaiting a final decision.
Possible Outcomes and Impact on Students
The Supreme Court’s ruling on January 15 will be crucial for over 70,000 CLAT candidates. A decision to uphold the High Court’s order would mean revising and republishing the CLAT Results 2025, potentially altering merit ranks and affecting admissions. Conversely, if the court favors the Consortium’s stance, the current results may stand, and counselling will resume based on the initial scores.
