Counci l of Ind ia by a not i f ica t ion dated 28/09/2013. A

copy of the same is a t tached as Annexure 3 .

(6) NATURE AND EXTENT OF INJURY

CAUSED/APPREHENDED:

(a ) That due to the non compl iance of the rules by the

respondent no . 2 wi th regard to res t r ic t ion on age

l imi t , the preparat ion of the over aged asp iran ts

according to the e l ig ib i l i t y c r i te r ia is suf fe r ing.

(b ) That many asp i ran ts a re incur r ing undes ired

expenses for the ge t t ing the ir CLAT appl ica t ion

form accepted thourgh l i t iga t ion whih involves huge

cos ts and many o ther expenses assoc ia ted wi th the

same and a l so not a l l the s tudents can have an

excess to the l i t iga t ion .

(c ) That many asp i ran ts a re suf fe re ing f rom menta l

agony due to the impos i t ion of th i s i l l ega l

e l ig ibi l i t y c r i te r ia as they a re uncer ta in about thei r

car rer prospec ts .

(7) ANY REPRESENTATION ETC. MADE

No representa t ion has been made .

(8) GROUNDS

a) That Cons t i tu t ion of India under Ar t ic le 14

guarantees the r igh t to equa l i ty to i t s c i t i zens . The

res t r ic t ion in age l imi t imposed by the CLAT Core

commit tee i s v io la t ive of Art ic le 14 ,19 as wel l as

u l t ravi res to the ru les formed by Bar Counci l of

Ind ia . The CLAT Organis ing Commit tee i s unable

to procure th i s cons t i tu t iona l and fundamenta l r ight

of a cer ta in sec t ion of asp i ran ts .

b ) That the Bar Counci l of Ind ia v ide i t s no t i f ica t ion

da ted 23 .09 .2013 has withdrawn the ru les

per ta in ing to age res t r ic t ions for admiss ion to

under gradua te courses of lega l educa t ion and now

there are no such ru les impos ing 20 years of age

res t r ic t ion . However , the CLAT Core Commit tee

has not ac ted in accordance wi th the sa id

not i f ica t ion andt he age res t r ic t ions a re s t i l l be ing

implemented which i s u l t rav i rus to the Rules of

Lega l Edcuat ion , 2008 f ramed by the BCI which i s

the s ta tu tory au thor i t y for regulat ing the legal

educa t ion in India . The BCI in i t s no t i f ica t ion has

i t se l f s ta ted tha t res t r ic t ing the age l imi t for

admiss ion to under -grauda te course i s beyond the

leg is la t ive competence of Bar Counci l of India and

i s u l t ravi res to the provi s ions of Sec t ion 7(1) (h)

and ( i ) and 24(1) (c ) ( i i i ) and ( i i ia ) or Sec t ion 49(1)

(af ) , (ag) and (d) of the Advoca tes Act . Even

o therv ise , the Rule i s a rb i t ra ry as i t in t roduces an

inv id ious c lass i f ica t ion by d iv id ing one c lass of

s tudents in two ar t i f ic ia l and i r ra t iona l c lasses by

prescr ib ing the maximum age for admiss ion to law

courses . Also , the sa id res t r ic t ion i s v io la t ive of

the fundamenta l r igh ts as wel l as to the pr inc ip les

of na tura l jus t ice .

c ) Because even Bar Counci l of Ind ia , which i s the

only au thor i ty for regula t ing legal educa t ion in

India , as per the powers g iven to them under

Sec t ion 49 (1) (c ) of Advoca tes Act , 1961 does not

have leg is la t ive competence to make such ru les ,

which a re in vio la t ion of the provis ions of

Advoca te Act ,1961. CLAT o rganis ing commit tee

which is a non -s ta tu tory body es tab l i shed under a

Memorandum of Unders tanding s igned be tween 16

Nat ional Law Univers i t ies cannot impose such age

l imi t for the admiss ion in to inst i tut ions impar t ing

lega l educa t ion . The Legal profess ion i n India i s

regulated by the Advoca te Act and any ru le which

i s in v io l i t ion of the provis ions of the Advoca te

Act i s agains t the spi r i t of lega l profess ion .

Therefore , CLAT does not have any leg is la t ive

competence to make such ru les . This age e l ig ibi l i t y

c r i te r ia i su l t rav ires to the Rules of lega l Educat ion,

2008 .

d ) That h igh court s of d if fe rent ju r i sd ict ions a re

a l lowing those candida tes who are f i l ing wri t

pet i t ions before them to f i le a phys ica l copy of

appl ica ton to the CLAT organiz ing commit tee . As a

resu l t of which only those asp i ran ts , having

knowledge and access to the cour t s , a re ab le to f i l l

th i s appl icat ion form. Hence , despi te of having a

chance of be ing e l ig ible for CLAT, they a re not

be ing al lowed to s i t for CLAT because of the lack

of knowledge and resources . This has resu l ted in a

whole new class of asp i ran ts whose r igh ts are be ing

v io la ted .

e ) That the sa id age res t r ic t ion i s v io la t iveof

fundamenta l r igh t guaran teed under Ar t ic le 14 of

Cont i tu t ion of Ind ia . Al l those asp i ran ts who are

above 20 years of age , and want to appear in CLAT

examina t ion but a re unaware about f i l lng of the

wr i t pe t i t ion a re los ing on the ir car re r because of

the sa id age res t r ic t ion.The asp i rants a re under the

impress ion tha t s ince the i r appl icat ion forms a re

not accep ted on the CLAT webs i te , they a re not

e l ig ible for appear ing in the sa id exam. This i s not

on ly d ishear ten ing for these asp i ran ts , bu t i s a l so

af f ec t ing thei r p repara t ion and thus , a f fec t ing l ives

and careers of many young asp i ran ts .

f ) That applying for CLAT is cheaper for those

candidates who come s wi th in the age l imi t s as

compared to those s tudents who does not fu lf i l the

e l ig ibi l i t y c r i te r ia because of the fac t tha t those

who are wi th in the age l imi t s can f i le an

appl ica t ion via the in te rne t , whereas t hose who are

overagedincure mul t ip le expenses such as l i t iga t ion

cos t , pos tal expenses e tc . This d if fe rence be tween

the cost of applying for CLAT is subs tan t ia l and i t

v io la tes r igh ts of tha t sec t ion of the asp i ran ts who

a re not e l ig ible because of the ag e res t r ic i ton se t

ou t by the CLAT organizing commit t ee .

g ) That Ar t ic le 19(1) (g) provides every c i t izen of

India a r ight to prac t i se any profession , or to car ry

on any occupat ion , t rade or bus iness . The sa id

e l ig ibi l i t y c r i te r ia of age for admiss ion into leg al

educa t ion v iola t es the fundament r igh t under

Ar t ic le 19(1)(g) of Cons t i tu t ion of India as those

law asp iran ts who want to under take thei r l ega l

educa t ion in the NLU’s but a re unable to take

admiss ion because of the i l l ega l age res t r ic t ion se t

by the CLAT commit tee thus , u l t imate ly a f f ec t ing

them in pursu ing the i r lega l car re r and thei r r igh t

to en te r into lega l profess ion .

h ) That wi th the es tab l i shment of the Nat ional Law

Univers i t ies , the s tandard of lega l educa t ion in

Ind ia has been improved mani fo ld t imes and wi th

the passage of t ime , the NLU have made thei r own

pres t ige . Al l the law s tudents asp i re to take

admiss ion in the NLU’s because of the NLU brand

name and more so because of the s tandard of lega l

educa t ion provided by the NLU’S. I t i s submi t ted

tha t as a l l the NLU’S except Delh i take admiss ions

th rough the CLAT and those asp i ran ts who do not

qua l i f y for f i l l ing the admiss ion form because of

the age res t r ic t ion a re denied admiss ion in the

NLU’S which i s v io la i tve the ir fundamenta l r igh ts

guaranteed under Ar t ic le 14 , 19(1)g and 21.

i ) That the BCI be ing the s ta tu tory bod y for

regulat ing the lega l educat ion in ind ia , a l l the law

col leges have to be recognised by i t and should act

in accordance with the ru les f ramed by the B CI . I t

i s submi t ted that whi le o ther law col leges in India

have not prescr ibed any age l imi t for taking

admiss ion in the undergraduate law course , the

NLU’s have prescr ibed the age res t r ic t ion which i s

ul t ra v i rus to the ru les f ramed by the BCI and is

v ia lo t ive to the fundamental r igh ts guaranteed

under the cons t i t iu t ion of India .

CLAT upper age limit to remain unchangeddespite Allahabad HC judgment

The  20year  age  limit  to  appear  in  the  Common  Law  Admission  Test  (CLAT)  remainsunaffected  by  the  Allahabad  high  court  judgment  of  May  2014,  in  which  the  court  hadnoted  that  there  can  be  no  such  restriction  since  the  Bar  Council  of  India  (BCI)  hadalready  scrapped  the  maximum  age  limit  on  undergraduates.

CLAT  2015  convenor  RMLNLU’s  vice  chancellor  Prof  Gurdip  Singh  commented:  “In  thecore  committee  meeting  we  discussed  this  issue.  It  was  pointed  out  that  [the  judgment]was  applicable  to  only  those  [two  candidates  who  had  filed  the  petition  before  theAllahabad  HC].  There  is  no  high  court  judgment  coming  in  the  way  [of  the  presently  fixedeligibility  criteria].”

When  asked  about  the  effect  of  the  high  court’s  observation  that  a  BCI  notification  haddeclared  the  age  limit  criteria  unconstitutional,  Singh  said:  “The  core  committee  has  thepower  to  independently  decide  eligibility  criteria.  The  order  doesn’t  affect  the  authority  ofthe  CLAT  core  committee  as  such.”

The  Allahabad  high  court  had  in  May  directed  CLAT  2014  convenor  GNLU  Gandhinagar  toallow  two  21yearold  CLAT  aspirants  to  appear  in  the  entrance  test.

This  year’s  age  limit  relaxation  has  been  granted  to  candidates  from  the  personswithdisabilities  (PwD)  category,  from  which  candidates  up  to  22  years  of  age  can  now  appear,as  reported  by  Legally  India.  Until  CLAT  2015,  only  candidates  from  the  scheduledcategories  (SC/ST)  were  granted  this  relaxation.
