In another news, amid the ongoing controversy over the NALSAR convocation, students and alumni of the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) have opposed the invitation of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Bar Council of India (BCI) Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra to the university's upcoming convocation ceremony.

The development comes days after a major controversy erupted at the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR) University of Law in Hyderabad, where a section of graduating students reportedly objected to the university's proposal to invite CJI Surya Kant as the chief guest. The opposition was linked to remarks made by the CJI during a Supreme Court hearing and was followed by protests by CJP and students at Jantar Mantar.
