# BCI lifts enrolment ban on NALSAR 2026 graduates 2026-08-13T17:42:39+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 5 independent outlets The Bar Council of India withdrew its order barring NALSAR University's 2026 batch from enrolling as advocates, hours after imposing it. The council had acted after students opposed Chief Justice of India Surya Kant's participation in the convocation, citing his remarks in a case on police excesses during Delhi protests. BCI Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra initially called the protest disrespectful and sought a report. But after the university's submission showed most students were not involved, the council reversed the ban, saying no student should suffer without fault. The inquiry into the organisers continues. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in - businesstoday.in - siasat.com - nationalheraldindia.com - deccanchronicle.com Tags: Bar Council of India, CJI Surya Kant, law graduates, NALSAR, student protest Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bci-lifts-ban-on-nalsar-students-after-clarifying-protest/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
