Retired Kerala high court justice MR Hariharan Nair and Cochin University Prof Santosh Kumar will form a committee until 29 May, to look into each individual grievance submitted until 27 May to Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2018 convenor Nuals Kochi by CLAT 2018 candidates.
Senior advocate Rakesh Munjal briefed by advocate A Kartik for Nuals submitted to the Supreme Court today that since yesterday Nuals had formed the grievance redressal committee to be headed by justice (retd) Nair and technical member Prof Kumar.
This committee will examine individual representation of CLAT 2018 candidates in two phases. The 251 representations which Nuals told the court yesterday it had already received will be examined and filed with corrective measures to be taken for them by Sunday 27 May. The Supreme Court today also allowed aggrieved candidates who have not yet submitted representations, to submit them until the deadline of 7pm on Sunday 27 May. The committee will tend to these fresh representations until 29 May.
The Supreme Court directed Nuals to submit the status report of the grievance redressal’s committee’s work, in court on 30 May and an advance copy to the petitioners in the writ which it is hearing, which we have been reporting on.
The court also directed Nuals to create and publish a designated email address for receiving grievance representations from CLAT 2018 candidates, within two hours from today’s hearing, the petitioners’ counsel Anand Shankar Jha told us.

1) We are nearing June and it will get too late. The academic calendar cannot be rearranged.
2) It will be to expensive.
3) Everyone faced the same disadvantage.
4) The solution can focus on a CLAT body next year. There can be a refund this year.
5) Answer keys are already out and results are known through social media and coaching centres. If you compare the scores of mock tests at coaching centres with the CLAT scores, a fair result has been achieved. Those who deserved to get it have made it.
May I suggest that you should hold yourself to a higher standard with moderating these comments. The above comment has no chance of success as a legal strategy. It serves the sole purpose of giving false hopes to those who are still aspirants for entry into law. Why publish it? It merely originates in an imperfect understanding of the maxim and it's practical application.
Hope you consider.
Q. Respondent (Nuals kohchi) can't be judge in his own case .Students should challenege this order
A) True.
B) False.
C) Sometimes true.
D) Nonsense.
- All criminal cases are State v. X. All judges (as judiciary) are part of the state in a republican democratic system. However, you can't state that the judiciary can't sit in judgment in a criminal case because of Nemo judex in causa sua.
- Similarly, tomorrow you'll go to a law school. Sooner or later most of you will appear in front of a warden's committee/Proctor's Board etc. You will be charged with having broken's the rule of the university or damaged its property. However, you won't be able to correctly use Nemo judex in causa sua when Proctor/Warden (employed by the university) sits in judgment.
The maxim has a specific usage. An expert committee, appointed by CLAT, on the order of the SC is not NUALS being a "judge in his (sic) own case."
Kindly stop misleading and misdirecting people, and kindly stop upvoting the comment.
@Kian: Be responsible as a journalist.
PS: I do not agree with the court's view that any justice will be served by an 'outside' 'expert' body. It is part in a series of yearly sham that the system conjures up. One ought to speak against it, but armed with a proper argument and without raising hopes of those aspirants that have pinned their hopes that there will be actual justice at the end of this road.
I sincerely hope that a re-test, a proper one can be conducted. I sincerely hope that an ordered change in the CLAT can be brought about. But I pray of you not to blindly hope for the same.
They can't give any grace marks or extra marks for the painfully obvious reason tat people will go off their rocker and they cant possibly conduct a retest for the complainants only because that too would be pretty controversial.
What do you guys think will happen. I think a full and all India retest is a pipe dream now. Some of you guys must be feeling shattered. Stay strong.
the help desk set up is not taking the complaint.after writting all stuff when you want to submit it .it does not happen it says connection time out.omg technical glitch in this alsoIt said that "the committee after perusing the complaints will determine if the candidate has a genuine grievance and if yes suggest remedial measures." This shows that the committee upon its own discretion can dismiss a grievance if its not "genuine". NUALS Kochi has not specified on what basis or ground a complaint is genuine or not.
Mostly they will reject most complaints , accept some to appease students and submit the report to the bench. And date of submission of report is 30 th. Results are expected on 31st. What if the petitioners want to contest the report? What if many other students oppose the remedial measure given by the committee? The future of 60000 students is at stake.
If there is a hearing tommorow i hope the petitioners assert the great injustice meted out to them.The court should also hear the petitions filed in different high courts. Petitions have been filed in the Karnataka HC and the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana HC.
A fair conducted re test will be the ONLY solution to re affirm the fate of deserving students who's future hangs in the balance thanks to the incompetence of an conducting authority.
