Supreme Court Petition Challenges Extension of BCI Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra's Tenure
A Supreme Court petition challenges the extension of Manan Kumar Mishra's tenure as Bar Council of India (BCI) chairman beyond the two-year limit set by BCI rules. Filed by advocate MG Yogamaya, the plea seeks Mishra's removal, an independent committee to manage BCI affairs, and a financial audit. The petition follows controversy over Mishra's directive to bar NALSAR law graduates' enrolment, which he later retracted and apologized for, amid protests and calls for his removal by lawyer groups.
