Rajasthan High Court on Friday issued notices to HRD Ministry, all the 14 national law universities and schools as well organisers of the Common Law Admission Test asking why question papers and a copy of OMR sheet were not given to the students appearing in the exam.
The Division Bench comprising justice Dinesh Maheshwari and justice BL Sharma issued these notices to the Core Committee and Implementation Committee (Common Law Admission Test 2014), Bar Council of India and the others seeking their reply in two weeks on a petition filed by a coaching institute and others.
The petitioner had prayed that the question paper of the test and carbon copy of the OMR sheet be made available to the candidates appearing in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) and also that the answer key is released in the least possible time.
The petition claimed that unlike in other national level admission tests by institutes like IIT and IIM, no examination paper and copy of OMR sheet is allowed to be taken by students appearing in CLAT, which leads to suspicion among aspirants and deprives them of the opportunity of self-assessment.
While arguing that the CLAT was being conducted as per the whims and fancies of the universities in a manner causing inconsistency, confusion and arbitrariness, the petitioner has sought that the CLAT be made transparent and fair.
Besides this, the petitioners have also prayed that national Law University, Delhi is directed to join the CLAT and the admission process ordered to be conducted by a core-committee, which can be constituted jointly by all the respondent NLUs throughout the country.
