Hyderabad: The Student Bar Council (SBC) of NALSAR University of Law has expressed solidarity with the graduating batch of 2026 at the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru, following the university’s cancellation of its convocation.
“While we refrain from commenting on the contested versions of what led to such an impasse, it cannot be emphasised enough that a convocation marks a poignant milestone, recognising years of learning, growth, hard work, and the beginning of a new chapter in a student’s life,” read the statement. students said they have received no fresh communication from the management on a date for their own convocation While their subsequent tussle with the BCI has been settled. It added that denying students the moment, after they had already made arrangements, including for their families, was cruel. The development comes amid a row that began in July, when NALSAR students submitted representations asking the university to reconsider inviting CJI Surya Kant to their convocation.
The management has neither communicated nor opened up a channel of communication around it,” a NALSAR student told TOI. “Ever since the issue began, the management has been silent on the issue. We are clueless about what comes next.
