SC Dismisses Bar Council's Petition on Convicts Attending LLB Classes

Deccan Chronicle  

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition by the Bar Council of India, which had challenged a Kerala High Court order permitting two murder convicts to pursue LLB classes virtually. The case stemmed from a Kerala High Court ruling on November 23, 2023, that allowed the two convicted men to attend LLB classes online, despite their conviction. While the BCI counsel clarified that they were not seeking a stay on the high court's order but wanted the legal implications of the case to be addressed, the Supreme Court upheld the Kerala High Court's ruling. This ruling is being seen as a significant step towards progressive reforms in legal education, with the court rejecting the BCI’s conservative stance on the matter.
