Supreme Court Seeks Explanation on ₹2,500 Interview Fee by UP Bar Council

The Supreme Court recently sought an explanation from the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh after being informed that law graduates were being charged ₹2,500 for appearing in “oral interviews” before enrollment.

The Court noted that the interviews appear to bypass its 2024 ruling capping lawyer enrollment fees at ₹750.

The matter was flagged during submissions, and the Court will examine the reasons for the higher charges and compliance with its earlier directions.
