Plea Filed in Allahabad High Court Against Unrecognised Law Colleges Admissions in UP

A lawyer from Azamgarh has filed a Public Interest Litigation in the Allahabad High Court, challenging unauthorised law courses offered by Shri Ramswaroop Memorial University (SRMU), Barabanki, without valid Bar Council of India (BCI) recognition.

The PIL seeks directions to authorities to tighten norms, ensure only BCI-approved institutions admit law students, mandate fee refunds for affected students, and constitute a state-level inspection committee.

The petitioner also challenges the BCI’s provisional and retroactive approval of SRMU’s programs, calling it arbitrary and beyond statutory authority.

The Court has issued notice to the State and BCI in the plea, a systemic probe into legal education standards in UP.
