NALSAR Invites Chief Justice Surya Kant as Convocation Chief Guest Despite Student Protests
NALSAR University of Law in Hyderabad has invited Chief Justice of India Surya Kant as the chief guest for its upcoming convocation, a decision confirmed by the university despite protests from about 450 students. The students objected due to Kant's remarks dismissing a petition alleging police excesses during July's NEET protests in Delhi. The convocation date remains undecided, and the vice-chancellor stated they are awaiting Kant's response. The chief justice has traditionally delivered the convocation address in previous years.
