Last week, the bench had reserved its verdict in the matter.

Shortly after, NLSIU informed that it would be conducting a seperate entrance exam this year, i.e., NLAT 2020.

Hearing begins.

Senior Counsel KG Raghavan informs Court of NLAT, 2020 and that the exam will be conducted on Sept 12.

But it doesn't really affect the hearing, but there is a time limit now, Raghavan says.

Advocate CK Nandakumar concurs to the submissions.

Aditya Narayan submits that CLAT was postponed to Sept 28 and in this light, NLSIU had no choice but to hold separate entrance examinations.

You all have argued for so many hours. It will be an insult to the Advocates if we don't consider their points, says Bench.
