NALSAR row explained: Students’ protest over CJI’s invite, BCI’s flip-flop, SC steps in

The Bar Council of India encountered significant backlash for its initial directive affecting NALSAR law students. Following public outcry and intervention from the Supreme Court, the Council revoked its order. The Supreme Court upheld the students’ rights to engage in protest and converse with the Chief Justice. As a result, the Bar Council has retracted its earlier circular, and the matter is now subject to further Supreme Court review.
