Karnataka Bar Council Supports BCI Chairman Amid Resignation Demand by Senior Advocate
The Karnataka State Bar Council (KSBC) has supported Bar Council of India (BCI) Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra, rejecting calls for his resignation made by Senior Advocate Y R Sadasiva Reddy. Reddy accused Mishra of a dictatorial approach, citing the NALSAR incident where Mishra allegedly bypassed council procedures. KSBC dismissed these allegations as politically motivated and highlighted Mishra's efforts to protect professional autonomy and improve advocate welfare. Reddy is no longer an elected KSBC member, and the council urged unity under Mishra's leadership.
