Their future as lawyers had been marred with uncertainty with the BCI de-recognizing the law course.Law Faculty Dean Ashwani Kumar Bansal said, “The applications were prepared last. In a letter sent to state bar councils accessed by Live Law on September 22, the Bar Council of India, had declared not to enroll them as advocates as the Law Faculty failed to obtain “extension of approval of affiliation” from BCI despite repeated reminders. Delhi University Law Faculty Dean Professor Ashwani Kumar Bansal had then written a letter to the Bar Council of India, expressing shock about the drastic step that has been taken by Bar Council of India.
