Around 450 students of NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, have opposed the invitation extended to Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant to attend the university’s convocation as chief guest.
In a letter submitted to the university authorities, students raised concerns over recent judicial developments and questioned the decision to invite the Chief Justice amid ongoing debates around judicial accountability and student rights.
Students Raise Concerns Over Judicial Developments
The students’ letter reportedly referred to recent court proceedings, including the CJI’s handling of a hearing related to alleged police action against protesters during the CJP protest.
The students expressed concerns about the role of constitutional institutions in protecting democratic rights and said they wanted the university to reconsider the invitation.
NALSAR Community Divided Over Invitation
The issue has sparked discussions among students, legal academics and observers about the relationship between law institutions, judicial offices and student voices.
NALSAR, one of India’s premier national law universities, has historically encouraged debate on constitutional values, legal reforms and public issues.
Convocation Ceremony Draws Attention
The controversy comes ahead of the university’s convocation ceremony, where the presence of the Chief Justice as chief guest has become a subject of debate among students.
The university administration is yet to announce any change regarding the invitation.
