Supreme Court rules that BCI has no power to punish law students
The Supreme Court ruled that the Bar Council of India (BCI) lacks authority to punish law students, affirming that only their enrolled universities can take disciplinary action. The court rebuked BCI for attempting to intimidate NALSAR University students who opposed inviting CJI D.Y. Chandrachud as chief guest for their convocation. This landmark judgment clarifies the regulatory jurisdiction over legal education and protects student rights. It is significant for polity and governance sections in competitive exams.
