SC Disposes Of Plea Seeking BCI’s Result Declaration Directions

The Supreme Court has recently disposed of a plea seeking directions to the Bar Council of India to declare the results of the qualifying examinations for Indian nationals holding foreign law degrees.

A vacation bench of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Rajesh Bindal was informed that the results were already declared on June 7, 2023.

As a result, the cause of action for the petition no longer exists, and the petition has been disposed of.

The bench said that “In that view of the matter, the cause of action of the present petition does not survive. The petition is, accordingly, disposed of.”

Earlier on June 7, the lawyer appearing for petitioner Anchita Nayyar had sought an urgent hearing, saying if the results are not notified this month, more than 75 candidates will not be able to take the All India Bar Council exam scheduled later this year.

The Bar Council of India is expected to conduct AIBE 18, 2024 in September-October, which is the All India Bar Examination for issuing Certificates of Practice to lawyers.
