CLAT 2025: Delhi High Court Refuses To Stay Order Revising Results
The Delhi High Court devision bench has refused to stay an order of the single judge bench directing the Consortium of National Law Universities to announce revised results of the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2025 undergraduate exam after changing the marks for two questions. The matter was heard by acting Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela.
While hearing the plea the bench said that there is no error in the single judge’s decision of finding the two answers as ‘demonstrably wrong’. The bench said that single judge has examined the two questions carefully and has found that a different view is not a plausible one. Prime facie, the bench agreed with the single judge.
Directing the Cosortium of National Law Universities (NLU) the bench said, “You can go ahead with the results. There is no interim order passed in that. We clarify that there is no stay order & pendency of this petition is not construed as placing a cloud on the results, which may be reworked as per the single judge order”.
