Counsel: This may be tagged with the matter coming up on Tuesday

CJI: Will list on Tuesday.

'If they have a cause to protest...BCI has nothing do with this. We are with you. Students have written a letter to me. It's a dialogue between students and me. This was absolutely unnecessary. TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR. I was also actively involved in student activities as student. Peacefully they are raising voice, they should be allowed: #CJISuryaKant responds to BCI barring NALSAR 2026 graduates from enrolment

Order: On oral mentioning, matter taken on board. Issue notice. Meanwhile, no punitive action shall be taken against students or faculty of any law university by BCI or any state bar council

Sr Adv K Parmeswar: Cause of action survives
