Denial of bail to TISS students unconstitutional; NALSAR students objection to CJI justified: Dushyant Dave to Karan Thapar for The Wire.

.......................................


Do young students have the right to call for the release of Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam? Is it an offence for students to have on their laptop books by Mao and Lenin? Or are those grounds for denying them anticipatory bail? That is the first issue we will tackle today. And then are students of the NALSAR University of Law in Hyderabad justified in demanding that the Chief Justice not be invited to their convocation as chief guest because of the comments he made last month about student protests? Did the Chief Justice’s comments reflect the constitutional values NALSAR has attempted to teach these students? That's the second issue we will raise today. My guest is the well-known lawyer and former president of the Supreme Court Bar Association, Dushyant Dave.
