The Bar Council of India (BCI) released an important notification regarding the registration for the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) XIX. As per this notification, candidates who are in their final year of a 3-year or 5-year integrated L.L.B. degree program and do not possess enrollment certificates are now allowed to appear for the AIBE exam. The Supreme Court on Sept 20 allowed final-year law students to appear in the AIBE which is scheduled to take place on November 24.
Today (13th Sept): Final-semester LL.B. students at Delhi University challenge Bar Council of India’s notification barring them from AIBE-XIX. They claim it contradicts previous court rulings and violates their fundamental rights. They seek annulment of the notification, permission to take the exam, and an interim stay. The Supreme Court has requested BCI to justify the exclusion.
