It is a great responsibility cast upon the Bar Council of India to shut down such institutions, it observed. It is surprising to state how can a legal profession or how can we as stakeholders of legal education tolerate this kind of situation. "It is unfortunate that this Court is being constrained to remark that there are law colleges where you have to just go and pay the fees, the rest is taken care of. There are law colleges where you may not have sufficient faculty, no classrooms, no library, etc," stated the court. The condition of legal education including the status of infrastructure is nothing but worrying.
The court's order was passed on petitions by a private law college here on the issue of increasing the intake of students for its BA LLB 5-year integrated course. While lamenting the commercialization of education, the judge added that these steps ought to be introduced to "cure the maladies that legal education is suffering from" and that it was surprising how the stakeholders of legal education could tolerate such a situation. Justice Chandra Dhari Singh said that BCI shall upload such inspection reports on its website within one month and also take immediate steps to close those colleges that are found lacking minimum infrastructural facilities.
Observing that the condition of legal education, including its infrastructure, is nothing but worrying, the Delhi High Court on Friday directed the Bar Council of India (BCI) to constitute special expert teams to conduct surprise visits to law colleges in the country.
