NewzA petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking the removal of Manan Mishra as the Chairman of the Bar Council of India (BCI). The legal challenge comes as Mishra faces demands for his resignation from a group of lawyers.
In response to the calls for his departure, Mishra has firmly refused to step down. He defended his tenure by stating he has served as the BCI chairman for 12 to 14 years through election and asserts that he represents 25 lakh lawyers.
Alongside demanding his resignation, the lawyers petitioning against Mishra have also called for the implementation of an Advocate Protection Act. The conflict highlights ongoing tensions within legal leadership circles regarding representation and welfare measures for legal practitioners.
