Legal Battle

Two law students had filed a petition in Supreme Courtclaiming errors in CLAT answer key and seeking a stay on result and counselling process.

The Supremer Court however refused to entertain the petition but allowed the petitioner to approach the lower court.

Following this, a law student filed a petition in Delhi High Court.

The Delhi HC bench of Justice Jyoti Singh noted discrepancies in questions 14 and 100, which prompted the petitioner, Aditya Singh, to challenge the accuracy of the answer key.

The court ruled that option ‘C’ for question 14 was correct, instructing that full marks be awarded to candidates who selected it. Additionally, question 100 was declared invalid.

In response to the High Court’s order, the Consortium announced to delay the release of the admission list, which was originally slated for December 26, 2024, Free Press Journal reported.

“We acknowledge that this development may create some uncertainty, and we assure you that the Consortium is committed to ensuring transparency and fairness in the process.
