A bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justices Sanjay Kumar and K V Viswanathan directed that the matters be listed before a division bench of the Delhi High Court on March 3.
The apex court also instructed registrars of several high courts—including Bombay, Karnataka, Punjab and Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Calcutta—to transfer judicial records of the pending cases to Delhi within seven days.
The order came after the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs), which conducts CLAT, moved the Supreme Court seeking to consolidate all related matters before a single high court to avoid contradictory rulings.
The petitions stem from alleged errors in the CLAT UG 2025 exam, conducted on December 1, 2024. Cases are currently pending before the Delhi, Rajasthan, and Punjab and Haryana High Courts.
On December 20, Justice Jyoti Singh of the Delhi High Court had partly allowed a plea filed by 17-year-old CLAT candidate Aditya, who flagged errors in the undergraduate paper.
The court found clear mistakes in two out of five disputed questions and directed the Consortium to revise the results accordingly. This order was later challenged before the division bench of the Delhi High Court by both the Consortium and the petitioner.
