Chaudhary Charan Singh University

The Delhi High Court recently set aside the order of the Chaudhary Charan Singh University, Meerut, which had refused to grant relaxation of attendance to a student on the ground of maternity leave. It could set a badly needed precedent.

The Delhi High Court has asked the Bar Council of India (BCI) to place on record ‘basis of its decision’ were in it had decided that 0.5% marks and above in a qualifying examination can be rounded off to 1%.

The counsel for the petitioner states that the candidate satisfies all needed criteria under the advocate's act, 1961, and there is no specific rule in Bar Council of India to bound the enrollment of the petitioner.
