Supreme Court Considers Consolidating CLAT 2025 Petitions

The Supreme Court is deliberating transferring multiple petitions challenging the CLAT 2025 results to one high court for expedited resolution.

The Supreme Court is reviewing a plea by the Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLUs) to consolidate CLAT 2025-related petitions pending in seven high courts.
Petitions are currently filed in the Delhi, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Bombay, Madhya Pradesh, and Punjab & Haryana High Courts, raising concerns over inconsistent rulings.
The bench, led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, has expressed a preference for transferring the cases to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, citing its efficiency and jurisdiction over the first filed petition.
Some petitioners and lawyers have argued for transferring the cases to the Delhi High Court, which has already ruled on discrepancies in the CLAT 2025 answer key.
The Supreme Court has issued notices to all parties involved and scheduled a hearing for the first week of February 2025 to decide on the transfer.
