Delhi HC Calls for Roadmap for Conducting CLAT in a Regional Languages

The Delhi High Court stressed that the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) should not exclude students educated in regional languages.

While hearing a PIL, the Court asked the Consortium of NLUs to present a clear roadmap for conducting the exam in regional languages.

The Court acknowledged the policy-related challenges but noted that language barriers should not hinder access to legal education.

The Bar Council of India supported the inclusion of regional languages, stating it would broaden opportunities.

Although the Consortium highlighted translation issues, the Court emphasized the need for solutions. The next hearing is scheduled for March.
