Never accepted Nalsar invitation, so no question of going: CJI

NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India Surya Kant has firmly stated that he never accepted the invitation to be the chief guest at Nalsar University of Law's convocation, dismissing any notion of his attendance. The matter escalated into a controversy when a section of students opposed his presence, leading to the Bar Council of India's intervention and subsequent withdrawal of the invitation.

The Chief Justice, who is currently handling several petitions related to student protests, clarified that his decision not to attend the convocation has never been in question.
