Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined whether the conditions imposed by the Consortium of National Law Universities for the conduct of CLAT 2022, particularly regarding facilities for visually impaired candidates, violated constitutional rights under Article 32. The petitioner, a disability rights activist, challenged the late imposition of conditions that denied scribe facilities to some candidates, raising concerns about accessibility and fairness. The Court considered the timing and nature of the conditions, emphasizing the importance of reasonable accommodations for disabled candidates. The judgment focused on balancing the rights of disabled candidates with the procedural fairness in examination conduct.
