Supreme Court Seeks Bar Council's Position on Upper Age Limit for Law Admissions
The Supreme Court has asked the Bar Council of India (BCI) to clarify its position on the upper age limit for admission to five-year integrated law courses. The court is considering a plea challenging the age restrictions, which currently set limits of 22 years for five-year courses and 45 years for three-year courses. The BCI defended the limits citing the residential nature of five-year programs, while the court questioned if this justifies the age cap. The matter will be reviewed after the BCI provides its stance.
