BCI Chairman Faces Calls to Quit, Co Chair Demands Inquiry The recent calls for resignation from within the Bar Council of India (BCI) itself are a stark reminder that no institution is immune to the corrosive effects of unchecked power.
The allegations of financial irregularities levied by co chairperson Y R Sadasiva Reddy against chairman Manan Kumar Mishra are the latest salvo in a long standing battle for transparency and accountability within India's legal establishment.
The controversy began when Mishra, also a BJP MP, barred law graduates from Hyderabad's NALSAR University of Law from being registered as advocates.
