In a significant development regarding the CLAT 2025 results, the Delhi High Court’s division bench has refused to stay the order passed by a single bench, which had directed the Chanakya National Law University (CNLU) to announce revised results. The decision has come as a setback for the university, which had sought a stay on the single bench’s order.
The issue arose when discrepancies were found in the CLAT 2025 results, leading to legal challenges. The single bench had ruled in favor of a revision of the results, directing CNLU to reassess the scores and publish corrected results. The division bench, after hearing arguments from both sides, decided not to intervene with the single bench’s decision, thereby ensuring that the revised results would be made public.
This ruling has stirred significant interest in the legal and academic circles, as it underscores the judiciary’s stance on ensuring fairness and transparency in entrance examinations. The original CLAT 2025 results were marred by allegations of errors in the evaluation process, prompting candidates to demand a review. The single bench’s directive to CNLU to announce revised results was seen as a necessary step to uphold the integrity of the examination process.
CNLU, however, expressed its concerns regarding the practical implications of announcing revised results on short notice, citing logistical challenges and the potential confusion it could cause among the candidates. The university had argued that staying the order would allow it more time to address the issues raised and make the necessary adjustments.
Despite these concerns, the division bench upheld the single bench’s ruling, emphasizing the importance of correcting any errors to ensure fairness in the admission process. This decision now puts pressure on CNLU to finalize and release the revised results as per the directions issued.
For the candidates awaiting the final results, this ruling is seen as a victory, reinforcing the principle of transparency and accuracy in the selection process for one of the most competitive law entrance exams in India. The revised results are now expected to be announced soon, and candidates will be hopeful that any discrepancies in the initial evaluation are addressed.
