Students at NALSAR University of Law in Hyderabad have asked the university administration to withdraw the invitation to Chief Justice Surya Kant as the chief guest for its convocation. They have cited his reported remarks during a recent court hearing as the basis for their objection.
The objection concerns the Supreme Court's reported refusal to urgently list a plea related to police action against protesters during the 'Chalo Sansad' demonstration at Jantar Mantar on July 20. The students have submitted multiple representations to the administration, stating that the choice conflicts with the university's values and constitutional principles.
The university administration has not yet responded to the students' representations.
