New Delhi [India], August 12 (ANI): The Bar Council of India (BCI) has directed the University of Delhi to process enrolment applications of law graduates covered by a recent Supreme Court order and not reject them only because of an attendance shortage.
The order will apply uniformly to similarly placed candidates across India and is not limited to students of Delhi University's Campus Law Centre, Law Centre-I, or Law Centre-II.
The arrangement will remain subject to any further or final order of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court had directed that such students should not be stopped from appearing in their final examinations because of an attendance shortage.
The BCI has now clarified that the same attendance shortage should not be used later to deny enrolment to a student who falls within the class protected by the Supreme Court order.
