On Hyderabad students’ ban, Bar Council chief acted on own, say members
The Bar Council of India (BCI) chairman issued a directive to ban NALSAR University students from enrolment and initiate an inquiry against them, reportedly without consulting other BCI members. The directive was quickly retracted twice following internal dissent within the BCI, questions about its constitutionality by NALSAR's Vice-Chancellor, and public reaction, highlighting issues of internal governance and decision-making within the statutory body.
