The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Supreme Court of India ruled that the Bar Council of India has no statutory authority to regulate or discipline law students before they enter the legal profession.
- The bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana said educational institutions will act against students under their own rules.
- The ruling came on a petition challenging a BCI circular that had asked state bar councils not to enrol graduates of NALSAR University, Hyderabad, after students there protested against the CJI attending their convocation.
- The judgment clarifies that law students come under BCI rules only after they join the profession.
What to watch next
- Whether the BCI issues fresh directions or withdraws its circular to state bar councils on NALSAR graduates' enrolment
- Whether NALSAR graduates of the current academic year are now enrolled as advocates
