Nalsar row: SC strikes down BCI orders, says it has 'no statutory power to regulate conduct of students'

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday held that the Bar Council of India has "no statutory authority to regulate the conduct of law students". The court set aside two BCI notifications issued against students of Hyderabad's Nalsar University of Law.

The orders were linked to the students' protest over Chief Justice of India Surya Kant's proposed participation in the university's convocation.
