NALSAR Students Body Demands Bar Council Chief's Apology Over 'Ban' Order
The council alleged that the BCI Chairperson's actions were unbecoming of his office and contrary to the constitutional principles he was expected to uphold.
The Student Bar Council of NALSAR University of Law has expressed strong disapproval of the Bar Council of India (BCI) over a directive that banned state bar councils from enrolling the university's 2026 graduates as advocates. The student body also demanded an apology from BCI Chairperson Manan Kumar Mishra for his alleged unprofessional and unfounded remarks directed at students and faculty members.
The Student Bar Council condemned the BCI's directive as an infringement on democratic principles, questioning its validity under the constitutional framework. They further accused Mishra's communication on X of not withdrawing the original allegations against students and faculty members. The council emphasized the importance of dissent and critical inquiry in a constitutional democracy, highlighting that universities are not extensions of the state.
