BCI Drops Age Limit for Law Courses; Supreme Court Disposes of Related Plea

The Bar Council of India has withdrawn the upper age limit it had set for admission to law courses. Following this decision, the Supreme Court closed a petition that had challenged the age restriction. The move removes a barrier that had kept some older candidates from enrolling in legal education. The development settles the pending litigation on the matter without a final ruling on the age cap's merits.
