A division bench of the Allahabad High Court today STAYED the February 3 order of the single judge directing the Consortium of National Law Universities to revise the entire merit list for CLAT-UG-2026 for future counselling.

A bench of Justice Saumitra Dayal Singh and Justice Indrajeet Shukla passed this order on a special appeal filed by the Consortium challenging the Single Judge's order.

For context, the single judge had found that the high-powered 'Oversight Committee' had arbitrarily overruled subject matter experts regarding a disputed question without assigning any reasons for the same.

Justice Vivek Saran had directed the Consortium to treat two options ('B' & 'D') as correct for the disputed Question No. 9 (in Booklet-C) and to all other questions which correspond to the same in different booklets of CLAT-2026 entrance examination and republish the merit list within one month.
