The Supreme Court has rebuked the Bar Council of India (BCI) for refusing travel allowances and honorarium to retired judges supervising Bar Council elections, questioning how they are expected to cover expenses personally and warning against non-compliance with court directives.
The Bar Council of India informed the Delhi High Court that AIBE XXI will be held in June 2026, while the qualifying exam for Indian nationals with foreign law degrees is scheduled for December this year. The Court noted that such graduates may begin provisional practice for two years before clearing AIBE.
