'No NALSAR 2026 graduate will be advocate': BCI's strong stand amid CJI invite row
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported36m ago
The Bar Council of India (BCI) initially issued a directive pausing enrollments and preventing the 2026 graduating batch of NALSAR University of Law from becoming advocates. The initial decision was enacted following an alleged smear campaign directed at Chief Justice Surya Kant's attendance at a convocation, with the BCI demanding a comprehensive report from the institution within three days.
Hours after the initial ban, the BCI reversed its decision following significant public backlash. Consequently, students from NALSAR's 2026 cohort are now permitted to pursue enrollment with state bar councils.
