Bengaluru: NLSIU V-C seeks meeting with five-member student delegation amid convocation row

The Vice-Chancellor of the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) in Bengaluru has requested a meeting with a five-member delegation of students following a dispute regarding the attendance of two prominent legal figures at the university's convocation. The email from students and alumni opposing Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Bar Council of India Chief Manan Kumar Mishra's presence at the convocation prompted the action.

The graduating students informed The Hindu, stating that they are to form a delegation to discuss the matter with Vice-Chancellor Sudhir Krishnaswamy. They are also engaged in internal discussions to determine their next course of action. The Vice-Chancellor's availability for comment was not disclosed. On the previous day, NLSIU students and alumni had shown solidarity with NALSAR Hyderabad students, opposing the presence of the same two figures at their convocation as well.
