New Delhi, September 20: The Supreme Court today allowed final-year law students to appear in the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) scheduled for November 24. 

This decision comes after a petition was filed by students from the Campus Law Centre and Law Centre-1, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi.

Supreme Court has passed an interim order while hearing a petition challenging the decision to the Bar Council of India to exclude final-year law students from registering for AIBE. 

The petitioners submitted that the BCI's decision was contrary to the Constitution Bench judgment in Bar Council of India v. Bonnie Foi Law College & Ors as per which final year law students should be allowed to appear in the AIBE.

During the hearing today before the bench comprising Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwal and Manoj Misra, the Bar Council of India submitted that they required time to frame rules regarding final year law students. 

The bench said that they can take time to frame rules, but should ensure that final-year law students do not lose a year.

The bench also clarified that the order will apply to all final-year law students and not just to the petitioners.
