New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday quashed Bengaluru-based National Law School of India University’s decision to hold NLAT-2020 and directed it to admit students based on CLAT. With this “a student sitting in a corner of his small house in a village will get a chance to appear for the premier law entrance exams,” a lawyer said.
A bench comprising Justices Ashok Bhushan, R. Subhash Reddy and M.R. Shah said the NLSIU shall conduct its admission process in accordance with the CLAT 2020 and also conduct the admission as early as possible.
Advocate Vipin Nair, who represented former NLSIU VC R. Venkata Rao and Rakesh Kumar Agarwalla, the parent of a student of the university, said the top court in an unanimous decision by a three-judge bench has quashed the NLAT exam conducted by the NLSIU, Bangalore after it pulled away from the pre decided CLAT exams fixed on September 28.
