The Allahabad High Court directed the Bar Council of India to accept a visually impaired candidate’s late application for the All-India Bar Examination (AIBE)-XIX after he missed the deadline due to a university error in his exam result. The candidate, Navendu Aggarwal, can now apply within a week.
Final-year law students filed a petition in the Supreme Court contesting a rule preventing them from taking the All India Bar Examination (AIBE). They argue that this restriction violates their rights and delays their entry into the legal profession. The petition seeks to invalidate the rule and requests permission for the students to sit for the exam. The case is set for a hearing on September 13, 2024.
