‘Ought to have resigned’: Bombay Bar Association on BCI chairman Manan Mishra's apology
In a letter dated August 18 (Tuesday), the Association said the apology was an “attempt to assuage the situation” and not a “true expression of remorse”.
On Thursday, August 20 at 10 am, the Cockroach Janta Party will protest against Bar Council of India chairman Manan Mishra. The protest, announced by spokesperson Saurav Das, aims to demand his resignation over the current controversy surrounding NALSAR University of Law. The All India Young Advocates Association supports the protest and calls for any peaceful means to hold Mishra accountable.
The Bombay Bar Association had also called for Mishra's resignation, terming his apology as insufficient. The Bar Council of India had initially frozen the enrollment of the 2026 graduating batch of NALSAR University of Law due to the student and faculty protest, but later withdrew the order. Mishra had apologized for any discomfort caused by the row, acknowledging the concerns of the student community and emphasizing the importance of listening and respecting student feelings.
