The Supreme Court of India expressed concern over a Delhi High Court ruling allowing law students with attendance shortages to appear in examinations, observing that such interpretation could weaken classroom-based legal education and turn law college hostels into “just boarding and lodging facilities”.
The Supreme Court of India will hear in April a PIL by Ashwini Upadhyay seeking a Legal Education Commission to reform legal studies, proposing a four-year LLB after Class 12. A bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant considered the plea.
