Plea in SC Seeks Manan Mishra's Removal as BCI Chief as He Refuses to Step Down A recent plea filed in the Supreme Court challenging Manan Kumar Mishra's decade long tenure as Bar Council of India (BCI) chairman highlights the institution's chronic failure to prioritize transparency and accountability.
This is not simply a case of an individual clinging to power; it reflects a deeper rot within the BCI's governance structure, one that has enabled the concentration of authority in the hands of a single person for far too long.
Mishra's tenure has been marked by controversy, including his handling of the NALSAR University affair and allegations of arbitrary exercise of regulatory authority.
