CJP co-convenor Saurav Das urged Bar Council of India chairman Manan Kumar Mishra to resign on Friday, following the Supreme Court's rebuke of the Council's involvement in the NALSAR University of Law enrollment dispute. Das emphasized moral responsibility in his call for Mishra's resignation, urging fellow "cockroaches" both inside and outside court to ensure it occurs.
The demand came after Chief Justice of India Surya Kant strongly criticized the BCI's interference, asserting the Council lacked authority to meddle with students' right to protest. The Supreme Court barred the Council and state bar councils from taking punitive or criminal action against students or faculty from national law universities, citing the court's decision to prevent such actions.
The BCI subsequently altered its order, permitting 2026 graduates to seek enrollment, following criticism and a proposed student protest. The Supreme Court granted the BCI a two-week period to respond to the petition challenging its actions and to direct similar orders in the future.
