NALSAR Students Request Reconsideration of CJI Surya Kant as Convocation Chief Guest
Students from NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, have urged the university to reconsider inviting Chief Justice of India Surya Kant as the convocation chief guest. Their objection stems from his reported remarks during a Supreme Court hearing on alleged police action against protesters at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, where he reportedly declined to watch video evidence and dismissed urgent hearing requests. The students argue this conduct conflicts with the university's commitment to constitutional rights and access to justice. The university has not yet responded or confirmed the convocation details.
