NALSAR Students Oppose Invitation of CJI Surya Kant as Convocation Chief Guest
Over 450 students from NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, have opposed the invitation of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant as the chief guest for the 2026 convocation. Their objection centers on the CJI's reported remarks during a Supreme Court hearing related to police action against protesters at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, including dismissive comments about video evidence of alleged police excesses. The students argue that inviting him conflicts with constitutional accountability and academic values, urging the university to reconsider the decision. The university has not yet confirmed the convocation date or the chief guest.
