NALSAR seniors oppose CJI as convocation guest
The Hindu··11 Aug
About 70 students from NALSAR's 2026 batch wrote to the university asking it to reconsider Chief Justice of India Surya Kant as convocation chief guest. They cited his remarks during Delhi NEET protest hearings. Later batches added support, taking endorsements to about 380 students. The university has not announced a date or guest as of early August.
