The university has not yet officially announced the date of the convocation or confirmed the chief guest. However, inviting the incumbent CJI to deliver the convocation address has reportedly been a longstanding practice at NALSAR. The students' principal objection relates to the Supreme Court proceedings concerning alleged police action against protesters during the July 20 demonstration at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. However, CJI Surya Kant has previously disputed media reports concerning the July 20 protest proceedings. NALSAR's administration has not publicly confirmed whether CJI Surya Kant has formally been invited to the upcoming convocation or whether the university will reconsider the reported proposal.
