Justice in Question: The Tension Between Convocation and Conscience The National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR) in Hyderabad is facing an unusual predicament.
A group of students has come out against inviting Chief Justice of India Surya Kant to be the chief guest at their upcoming convocation, not to question his authority or integrity but to uphold NALSAR's commitment to constitutional rights.
The concerns of these students are rooted in recent public statements made by the CJI during a hearing on alleged police excesses against protesters at Jantar Mantar.
