CJI criticises BCI’s interference in ‘dialogue’ between him and students

CJI criticises BCI’s interference in ‘dialogue’ between him and students Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Friday (August 14, 2026) questioned the motives behind an aborted move by the Bar Council of India to stop the professional enrolment of the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research’s (NALSAR) batch of 2026, terming it an unwarranted interference in the ongoing “dialogue” between him and the students who do not want him as the chief guest for their convocation ceremony. “Who is the Bar Council of India (BCI) to come between the students and me? The Bar Council of India has no business here… It is a dialogue between the students and me. Why is the BCI unnecessarily interfering?” asked Chief Justice Kant, heading a three-judge Bench, during a hearing against the BCI’s actions. The court barred the BCI from taking any coercive actions against NALSAR students and staff and gave the Council two weeks to explain its directives. ‘Campaign against CJI’ The students had written to the law university’s administration, expressing their antipathy towards inviting the Chief Justice. Their objection had followed nationwide outrage over the CJI’s oral remarks referring to certain individuals as “parasites” and “cockroaches”. The students had also found offensive the top judge’s disinclination to view videos of police brutality against students protesting the NEET-UG paper leaks in Delhi on July 20. On August 13, BCI chairperson Manan Kumar Mishra, who is a BJP MP and a senior advocate, wrote to the NALSAR Vice-Chancellor seeking a report identifying the persons behind the “campaign” against the CJI. The same letter prohibited State Bar Councils from enrolling any “2026-passed-out student” from NALSAR.

He further claimed that ‘some Opposition forces’ within the country were ‘distressed’ by India’s progress, much like Pakistan and Bangladesh, which, he said, viewed India’s development with envy and anxiety at the National Tricolour Rally (Tiranga Yatra) organised by the Telangana BJP from the Dr. Ambedkar statue at Tank Bund to the Swami Vivekananda statue on the eve of Independence Day. The Union Minister alleged that people were aware of how certain political parties and what he termed ‘Tukde-Tukde gangs’ had behaved during the events surrounding Operation Sindoor, claiming that they appeared to ‘want Pakistan to succeed and India to fail’. “The people of the nation must reject the malicious politics of those who carry the Constitution in hand while engaging in anti-national conspiracies,” he said. Kishan Reddy said the need of the hour was for citizens to work together for the nation’s progress under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Revanth Reddy to take action against the AIMIM for allegedly opposing the singing of Vande Mataram. Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar said the Congress should demonstrate its commitment to youth empowerment by providing opportunities to members of Generation Z in the State Cabinet.
