Chief Justice of India Surya Kant has disapproved the Bar Council of India's action against students of NALSAR University of Law, stating they have a right to protest. LiveLaw reports that the CJI made this observation during a hearing on a petition challenging the BCI's disciplinary measures. The ruling is a significant affirmation of student rights and checks the powers of regulatory bodies. It comes amid debates over the extent of BCI's authority over student conduct. The BCI has not yet responded to the CJI's remarks, and the matter is expected to have broader implications for student activism in law colleges.
