Senior advocate Salman Khurshid and advocate Anand Shankar Jha appeared in the Supreme Court for several Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2018 candidates today in a challenge to its conduct and its results, and the court directed them to serve copies of the petition on CLAT 2018 convenor Nuals Kochi and on the ministry of human resource development (HRD).
Jha told us that Khurshid submitted before the court today that a total of six high court benches are already hearing challenges against the CLAT 2018 on the same issue, and that the Supreme Court may be inclined to transfer all those challenges to itself for a combined hearing.
Jha told us that the writ Disha Panchal & Ors vs Union of India filed by them before the SC yesterday, as first reported by Live Law, had six petitioners on affidavit at the time of its filing but there are several more petitioners behind the challenge.
The writ prays for quashing the CLAT 2018 and staying its results scheduled for 31 May, and to re-conduct the exam this year in addition to instituting a committee of experts to examine the error representations made to Nuals Kochi by the candidates.
The same relief was prayed for in the other six writs before various high courts this year including Rajasthan and Delhi which we have already reported on.
The next hearing in the SC is scheduled for tomorrow.

And BTW who is Vensy Krishna?? She did not even give CLAT this year. She suddenly comes to Twitter and tries to incite students with hundreds of tweets. She is just a girl trying to be popular on social media . She probably had zero Twitter/Instagram fans before this. Now all her newfound Twitter/Instagram fans come to LI and downvote comments against a retest.
And she gives sarcastic replies if anyone criticises her, instead of responding to the criticism. See below:
I understand the calls for a retest, and I understand the resistance to a retest also. Fact is, there are no easy solutions right now and there will be some losers at the end of this, through no fault of their own, because CLAT messed up, yet again...
"Also, without paying that price, the ranking and merit positions between candidates, would not necessarily reflect sincere candidates' innate worth and capability because cheaters might bump them out of the ranking. " these were the exact words of the supreme court judgement , so you need to understand that justice should not only be done but also seen to be done , just imagine your plight if you were at the receiving end of clat fiasco what would you say then , jus because you got lucky doesnt mean that you have the right to damage the reputation of other people involved in providing justice to all the candidates , whatever will be the judgement of the supreme court will be binding on all till then get a life and stop posting such comments
Also, “Enough is enough”, you don’t know what we went through that day so better not comment about it. I am glad you were lucky, but we weren’t. Also, we are making an excuse for a bad exam that we undertook. How would you feel when I’d say that you don’t want a retest because you fear that your fluke won’t work this time or cheating would be impossible? Does it hurt your ego? I hope it does. Don’t comment about the things you don’t know. It’s good to have an opinion and be a rightist but don’t becaome an egoist.
Also, get a life and yeah, stop with this bullshit.
Such large-scale mismanagement, in which some students practically had 30 mins to complete the test, and some had 4 hours means that the playing field was not 'level'; it favoured some, while put many others at a disadvantage.
A retest (properly done, fingers crossed) will ensure that there is a level playing field again. It's fair to everyone.
Although JGLS is comparable to a Tier-1 NLU based on it's placement records, Mooting achievements (Vis, Oxford Price, ELSA, HSF, Jessup North, Frankfurt), International & NLU Grad Faculty, Course Structure, Research Centres, White & Case MoUs, Semester/JD Exchange, Infrastructure and massively rising alumni network.
