NLSIU students, alumni oppose CJI Surya Kant, BCI chairman attending convocation In a statement dated August 15, the students and alumni condemned the now-withdrawn BCI order to halt the enrolment of students of NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, and expressed their solidarity with the students at NALSAR, who they said have shown exemplary courage and moral conviction in speaking truth to power. “We are aware that the BCI has closed all proceedings against NALSAR. However, the fact that such unconstitutional and illegal “proceedings” can be initiated by a statutory body against students and faculty members of a public university in the first place does not alter the nature or the larger impact of such actions or dilute the responsibility of the Chairman and the BCI,” the statement signed by 165 graduating students of the Class of 2026, 409 current students …

BCI halts enrolment of NALSAR 2026 graduates amid row over CJI Surya Kant in convocation, withdraws move later

Published by Parlour News

In a dramatic turn of events, the Bar Council of India (BCI) on Thursday evening withdrew its order freezing the enrolment of the entire 2026 graduating batch of NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, just hours after directing all state bar councils not to enrol any student from the batch pending an inquiry into a campaign opposing Chief Justice of India Surya Kant’s participation in the university’s convocation. The Bar Council of India (BCI) had directed all State Bar Councils not to enrol any 2026 law graduate of NALSAR University of Law before withdrawing the move later. (PTI) In a communication issued late on Thursday evening, BCI Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra said the Council had “thoroughly discussed and deliberated” on his earlier letter and modified the direction imposing the enrolment ban. The Council, he said, was of the unanimous view that, according to the “latest report”, the vast majority of NALSAR’s 2026 graduating students were innocent and had not intended to participate in any move to show disrespect.

Photo: Arrangement A large section of students of the outgoing 2026 batch at the NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, do not want Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant as the chief guest at their convocation ceremony. The university has yet to announce the date of convocation or confirm the chief guest’s presence. But, for NALSAR, the CJI delivering the convocation address has been a tradition for some time now. The students’ dissent is over the CJI’s recent conduct and statements during the NEET protests in New Delhi. NALSAR’s solidarity with NEET protesters and the hunger strike by educationist Sonam Wangchuk at Jantar Mantar, was first visible on the campus here on July 20, when several students observed a one-meal fast. It was on the same day that the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) called for ‘Chalo Sansad’ and witnessed police excesses on protesters. The solidarity took shape as a collective protest two days later, when the CJI-led Bench declined to initiate suo motu proceedings …
