Delhi HC quashes NHAI notice mandating CLAT-PG score for lawyer recruitment

Business Standard

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday set aside a notification of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) making scores of CLAT-PG a basis for the recruitment of lawyers. A bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela allowed a petition challenging the August 11 notification of the NHAI. "The writ petition is allowed. Resultantly, the recruitment criteria given in the notification is quashed," the bench said while pronouncing its judgment. The detailed judgment is awaited. The court's verdict came on a plea challenging a notification of the NHAI making scores of CLAT-PG a basis for the recruitment of lawyers. On September 18, the court stayed the notification, saying there seemed no rationale behind the process. According to the petition filed by Shannu Bahgel, a lawyer, any score of a candidate in the Common Law Admission Test 2022 (Post Graduate) (CLAT-PG) cannot be made the basis for public employment, as it is conducted only for assessing
