CLAT Coaching Rivalry: Rajasthan High Court Stays Investigation, Refers Matter to Mediation

The Rajasthan High Court has stayed the investigation arising from a complaint linked to a dispute between two CLAT coaching institutes over claims of association with a top-ranked student.

The proceedings stemmed from allegations that a rival institute approached the ranker and their parent with an offer for endorsement, followed by accusations of intimidation and reputational threats.

The Court observed that the dispute appeared to be rooted in business rivalry rather than criminal conduct, particularly as it involved a minor student.

Holding that the issue was better suited for amicable resolution, the Court referred the parties to mediation and stayed further investigation.
