Aditya Singh: CLAT 2025 Candidate to Seek Supreme Court Intervention Over Exam Controversy
Aditya Singh, a CLAT 2025 candidate, has informed the Delhi High Court about his intention to approach the Supreme Court to transfer all related cases to the apex court. The controversy stems from alleged errors in the undergraduate admission test to NLUs.

Aditya Singh, a 17-year-old candidate for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2025, has challenged the test results, citing errors in the undergraduate admissions exam for National Law Universities (NLUs). During a hearing on Tuesday, Singh informed the Delhi High Court of his plan to approach the Supreme Court to transfer all similar cases to the apex court for a unified resolution.
Background of the Case
Singh had initially filed a plea with the Delhi High Court highlighting errors in five questions from the CLAT UG exam. Key developments include:
Single-Judge Ruling: Justice Jyoti Singh acknowledged clear errors in two out of the five flagged questions and directed the NLU Consortium to revise the results accordingly.
Consortium’s Appeal: The Consortium of NLUs argued that the single-judge ruling overstepped judicial boundaries by interfering in matters decided by subject experts.
Candidate’s Appeal: Singh contends that three additional questions were also erroneous and is seeking further corrections.
Division Bench Proceedings
The Division Bench, comprising Acting Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, refused to stay the single-judge’s order on December 24, allowing the NLU Consortium to proceed with results based on the revised marking.
When the matter came up for hearing again on January 6, Singh requested an adjournment, stating his intention to move the Supreme Court. The High Court has now deferred the case to January 30.
Implications of the Transfer Petition
Singh plans to ask the Supreme Court to consolidate similar cases from other High Courts to ensure consistency in judgments. This could significantly impact:
Future CLAT Exams: Highlighting the importance of accurate answer keys and transparency.
NLU Admission Process: Delays or revisions in results could affect the admission timeline.
PG Exam Controversy Adds to the Dispute
The controversy is not limited to the UG exam. Errors in the answer key for the CLAT PG exam have also surfaced, further raising concerns about the examination process.
Awaiting Supreme Court’s Decision
The CLAT 2025 controversy highlights the critical need for accountability in national-level entrance exams. As Aditya Singh moves to the Supreme Court, stakeholders await clarity on how the disputes will be resolved to ensure fairness and transparency in NLU admissions.
