The Supreme Court has questioned the Bar Council of India over its claim that “criminals have started entering the legal profession” while defending denial of enrollment to law graduates with pending criminal cases. The Court said such a restriction may not be valid without a clear law under the Advocates Act.
The Supreme Court resumed its suo motu case on stray dogs, with Justice Vikram Nath asserting, “I am the master of my own court,” refusing to follow the SOP on fixed argument timings. While Sr. Adv. Gopal Sankarnarayanan said, “time should be indicated for the arguments,” Justice Vikram Nath replied, “I am not following that so far”
