NALSAR Controversy Follows CJI Surya Kant At TISS Mumbai
A university called NALSAR had a big disagreement with a group called the Bar Council of India.
The Bar Council told state groups not to let NALSAR students who graduate in 2026 become lawyers.
Many people thought this was unfair and said so loudly.
Because of all the criticism, the Bar Council took back its decision.
The Supreme Court, which is the highest court in India, also said the Bar Council's action was wrong.
The Chief Justice of India, Surya Kant, spoke about the situation.
He said students are allowed to protest, even if their side of the argument is not correct.
The whole dispute became a big controversy.
People talked about it a lot, and it followed the Chief Justice to TISS Mumbai.
In the end, the decision was withdrawn and students kept their right to speak up.
The Bar Council of India directed state bar councils not to enrol NALSAR's 2026 graduates as advocates.
The directive triggered widespread criticism and was subsequently withdrawn.
The Supreme Court criticised the Bar Council of India's action.
CJI Surya Kant said students had a right to protest even if their position was wrong.
The controversy escalated following the NALSAR dispute and was linked to TISS Mumbai.
