Allahabad HC Sets Aside Order to Revise CLAT UG 2026 Merit List

The Allahabad High Court's two-judge bench, comprising Justices Saumitra Dayal Singh and Swarupama Chaturvedi, set aside a single-judge order that had directed the Consortium of National Law Universities to revise the CLAT UG 2026 merit list. The bench restored the final answer key released on December 16, 2025, after expert committees reviewed objections. It held that courts cannot act as appellate authorities over academic expert decisions unless a clear error is shown, emphasizing the structured scrutiny behind the final key.
