'Dissent Is Welcome...': BCI Drops Inquiry Against NALSAR 2026 Batch Over CJI Convocation Row After Backlash

The Bar Council of India has dropped all proceedings against the NALSAR University of Law 2026 graduating batch following significant backlash. The inquiry originally targeted students who opposed the Chief Justice of India's invitation to the university convocation. Chief Justice Surya Kant criticized the BCI's initial decision to bar graduates from enrollment, stating the BCI had no business intervening. NALSAR had previously planned to present the BCI's inquiry directive to its Executive Council before the closure.
