Outgoing students at NALSAR University of Law oppose the decision to invite Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant as the chief guest for their convocation ceremony, citing concerns about his public statements. The students say the remarks they refer to conflict with what they consider the core principles taught in law and legal ethics.
The Hindu reports that the students object to what they describe as statements made during the Delhi protests, arguing those statements run counter to the values they believe the legal system is meant to uphold. Times of India similarly reports that NALSAR students oppose CJI Surya Kant’s participation as convocation chief guest. While both outlets focus on the students’ objections and the specific issue of the CJI’s comments, they present the matter primarily through the students’ perspective rather than providing detailed responses from the institution or the CJI.
Overall, the sources agree that a group of graduating NALSAR students publicly challenges the selection of CJI Surya Kant for the event.
