Bar Council withdraws enrolment restriction on NALSAR graduating class
Published
The Bar Council of India reversed an order that had temporarily blocked NALSAR's entire 2026 graduating batch from enrolling with state bar councils over a convocation protest campaign. Its revised circular said most students were innocent and eligible to enrol. The reversal came within hours, removing the collective restriction before any individual responsibility had been established.
Why it matters
The change prevents immediate career disruption for graduates and demonstrates the due-process danger of penalising a whole class before an inquiry identifies who participated in disputed conduct.
