PANJIM: The High Court of Bombay at Goa on Monday allowed first year BA LLB students to withdraw their writ petition following submission by Goa University that the issue of BALLB course has been resolved for the current academic year.
On Friday the Goa University resolved the issue of BA LLB course by cancelling the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), scheduled on August 6 and that the new merit list will be prepared of candidates for BA LLB in both the law colleges by using the score of the earlier conducted entrance exam but with changed criteria.

Students Tarini Bras de Sa, Sparsh Naik and others from Salgaocar College of Law, Miramar, had filed a writ petition last week challenging the decision of the University to consider the BA LLB admission process as null and void. The High Court had ordered status quo after the Goa University counsel submitted that the notification dated July 25, 2023 will not be immediately implemented and the admitted students can continue to attend the classes.
Meanwhile, the Goa University has initiated a probe against alleged rigging of admission by G R Kare College of Law principal and found him guilty. Following this, the University had announced a retest on August 6.
