The single judge had found that the 'oversight committee' had arbitrarily overruled subject matter experts regarding a disputed question without assigning any reasons. The single judge had directed the consortium to treat two options ('B' & 'D') as correct for the disputed question No. 9 (in booklet-C) and to all other questions which correspond to the same in different booklets of CLAT-2026 entrance examination and republish the merit list within one month.
