NALSAR-BCI row puts spotlight on calls for BCI chief’s exit
- The controversy began after some NALSAR University of Law students objected to inviting CJI Surya Kant as the convocation chief guest.
- The Bar Council of India initially stopped enrolment of NALSAR’s 2026 graduates as advocates, but later withdrew the order after criticism.
- Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the CJP, criticised the BCI action and called for protests demanding BCI chairman Manan Kumar Mishra’s resignation.
- The dispute has raised wider questions about student dissent, academic freedom and the role of legal regulators.
