Supreme Court Refuses To Interfere With HC Order Allowing Delhi University To Use CLAT Score For 5 Yr LLB Admissions In 2023-24
|
The Supreme Court on Monday(September 25) refused to interfere with the interim order passed by the Delhi High Court allowing the University of Delhi to admit students in the 5 year LL.B course of its Faculty of Law on the basis of the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT).
Noting that the classes have already commenced, a bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud dismissed the special leave petition filed by a student, who demanded that the admission should be on the basis of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) held by the University for other courses. CLAT is conducted by the Consortium of National Law Universities.
"This is an interlocutory order, we cannot interfere. You can argue in the High court. HC will consider it for the next year. For this year, HC thought let CLAT reign", CJI said.
On September 18, a division bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula passed the interim order permitting the Delhi University to offer admissions in its newly introduced five-year integrated law courses on the basis of CLAT-UG 2023 score, only for the current academic year. The court was hearing a PIL challenging Delhi University’s decision to offer the said admissions solely on the basis of CLAT-UG 2023 score, instead of CUET.
The bench observed that the matter requires consideration and listed it for hearing for a broader question i.e. whether CUET should be mandatory for admissions in all Central Universities or if such varsities are at a liberty to admit students through other examinations conducted by other specialized agencies.
“However, for the present academic year 2023-24, as classes have already started, by way of interim relief, DU is permitted to admit students to its Five Year Integrated Law Course based on CLAT UG 2023,” the High Court ordered.
