सीजेआई बोले- ये छात्रों और मेरे बीच की बात:बार काउंसिल दखल देने वाला कौन होता है; जस्टिस सूर्यकांत का हैदराबाद यूनिवर्सिटी में विरोध हुआ था

According to a report by Dainik Bhaskar, the Supreme Court of India has issued a notice to the Bar Council of India (BCI) regarding a dispute over student enrollment at the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR) in Hyderabad. A bench led by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) reportedly intervened to prevent any punitive action against students and faculty members involved in recent campus protests.

During the hearing, the court expressed dissatisfaction with a circular issued by the BCI on August 13, which had directed state bar councils to take action following protests at the university. The CJI reportedly questioned the BCI's authority to intervene in matters between the university administration and its students, noting his own history of participation in student activism during his academic years.

The controversy stems from a protest by approximately 450 students who opposed the invitation of the CJI as the chief guest for the university's convocation ceremony. The students had petitioned the administration to rescind the invitation, citing concerns over recent judicial remarks made during the hearing of a case involving protesters. The Supreme Court's intervention serves to stay any disciplinary measures while the matter remains under judicial review.
