The Supreme Court of India has directed the Bar Council of India (BCI) to apprise it of its stand on the age cap for law courses. The order was passed by a three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V. Mohana.
The bench was hearing a matter concerning the age limit for admission to law courses in the country. The court sought the BCI's response to understand the regulatory body's position on the issue.
The Bar Council of India is the statutory body that regulates legal education and the legal profession in India. Its rules and standards govern admissions to law programmes across the country.
The court's direction indicates that the issue of an age cap for law courses remains under judicial consideration. Further details of the case and the specific age limit in question were not immediately available.
