The Delhi High Court announced its decision on writ petitions challenging three questions from the CLAT-PG 2025 exam. According to reports, the division bench, led by Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, determined that two of the disputed questions will be considered in the final assessment. However, the third question will remain excluded from the evaluation process.
The Delhi High Court upheld objections to two CLAT-PG 2025 questions and directed the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLU Consortium) to revise the answer key accordingly. However, the court dismissed the third objection, stating it lacked sufficient merit. Addressing the NLU Consortium’s argument that the petitions were submitted after the official objection window had closed, the court emphasized that fairness should prevail over procedural technicalities and agreed to hear the petitions.
A notable part of the ruling was the court's strong disapproval of the ₹1,000-per-question objection fee, labeling it excessively high—especially for students from economically weaker backgrounds. The Bench observed that such a fee could equate to a month's income for some, calling it a barrier to justice. It urged the NLU Consortium to re-evaluate the objection fee structure for future exams to ensure greater financial accessibility.
The case originated from petitions filed by aspirants Anam Khan, Nitika, and Ayush Agrawal, which were redirected to the Delhi High Court following a Supreme Court order consolidating similar cases from different high courts. With the court's directive, the NLU Consortium must now update the answer key, revise candidate scores as needed, and process applicable refunds before starting the CLAT-PG counselling process.
Beyond immediate changes to results, the court's stance on objection fees signals a potential shift towards a more inclusive and equitable framework for not just CLAT but also other national-level entrance exams.
