Bar Council blocks NALSAR graduates' enrolment pending protest inquiry
Published
The Bar Council of India directed state bar councils not to enrol NALSAR's 2026 law graduates until further orders while the university identifies people behind a campaign opposing Chief Justice Surya Kant's convocation appearance. The measure applies to the whole graduating batch during the inquiry, although the report does not establish individual involvement or give students' response.
Why it matters
A blanket professional-enrolment hold can delay graduates' careers and raises due-process questions about collective penalties, identification of organisers and the regulator's authority over campus expression.
