AILU demands resignation of BCI chairman
The Union demanded the resignation of the BCI chairman over the controversial order barring the enrolment of NALSAR students.
The All India Lawyers Union (AILU) has called for the resignation of Bar Council of India (BCI) Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra following his controversial order barring the enrolment of students from the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research, Andhra Pradesh (NALSAR). AILU president Bikas Ranjan Bhattacharya criticized Mishra, stating that he should have resigned instead of merely retracting his statement or apologizing.
The AILU also demanded the withdrawal of cases against protesters involved in recent agitations over irregularities in the NEET-UG examination and urged the government to stop monitoring and harassing young people for expressing dissent on social media. Additionally, the union seeks an amendment to the Advocates’ Welfare Fund Act, 2001, to provide a minimum death-cum-retirement benefit of ₹25 lakh and enhance the medical benefit to ₹5 lakh.
