“IT’S A DIALOGUE BETWEEN students and me. Who are they (the Bar Council of India) to unnecessarily raise an issue?,” said Chief Justice of India (‘CJI’) earlier today when Senior Advocate K Parameshwar orally mentioned a writ petition against the Bar Council of India (‘BCI’) Chairman’s directions. Although the BCI later withdrew the directions, the cause of action still survives, Parmeshwar submitted before the bench comprising the CJI and Justices V. Mohana and Joymalya Bagchi.
“I myself, during student days, was involved in student activities. Peacefully they are raising voice, they should be allowed. Even if they are wrong, assuming, they have the right to protest. Who can stop them?” the CJI said. “Why Bar Council or any other body should interfere?,” he added.
