Summary
- The Supreme Court has requested clarification from the Bar Council of India regarding its stance on the upper age limit for five-year integrated law courses.
- This inquiry follows a 2017 stay on the BCI's age restrictions of 22 years for five-year LLB and 45 years for three-year courses.
- During the hearing, questions arose about whether the BCI can impose such limits based on course structure, with Justice Bagchi challenging the residential nature as a valid criterion.
- The BCI is expected to provide its position in two weeks, potentially impacting future admissions policies for law aspirants.
