According to KD's law, irrespective of a stay order from court, just because regime or regime-friendly folks have filed an appeal, that itself is a "stay order".
NKC isn't gone yet, he will be seeking an extension at least till he turns 70, like he did 6 months back. KD and KB don't see eye to eye anymore, though SB is in KD's fold, because of the connection that both of them share with the Nephew.
DYC appointing a good academic like Sudhir to the panel was not very likely to happen in any case, since DYC has demonstrably abandoned all his duties as a Chancellor towards the university ever since he assumed the CJI office. He goes to even inaugurate buildings in other law schools or to give lectures, but has never visited NUJS nor allowed for convocation to be held for the last 4 batches.
SJA is unlikely to raise any squawk this time. They have been thoroughly coopted by NKC, who will want one of his acolytes from the NE or IIT to assume office if his term doesn't get extended. That way, the successor can keep burying all the dirt just like NKC did about his predecessors.
The current Regi is an NKC man, but he will do whatever is asked of him by powers to be. The ex Regi who was 'sacked' once is trying to stage a comeback once again, by cosying up to senior faculty now.
The state government will keep vetoing any really capable person from holding the post. Faizu may try his luck, as will some of the current VCs elsewhere whose tenures are ending too.
The alum are completely useless in this matter as they never even tried to build a collective voice to help the university, unlike the NLS group.
As you rightly mentioned, interesting times ahead indeed!
Depends on who you ask. Large sections of Bengal will judge him based on what he does with the RG Kar case. Also what explains his complete inactivity after swooping in to take over the case wherein Justice AG complained in writing (in an order) against alleged strong-arm tactics of Justice SS? Interestingly, Justice SS and Justice AS have not refuted the claims of Justice AG.
Justice SS is a big supporter of NKC and the Regime. Also thick with KD and DD.
- The CJI will delegate it to a younger SC judge
- The younger SC judge will delegate it to his intern and say: “Just put my stamp on anyone the Bengal govt chooses. No objections from me as long as the nominee is a human and not an orangutan living in the forest.”
- NUJS gets a VC in the Bhat-Talukdar-NKC tradition, rather than the Menon-Chimni-MPS tradition.
Same thing almost happened to NLSIU, but the students went on strike and got Sudhir. The chances of a student strike at NUJS are nil.
Speaking for myself, I’d personally prefer an orangutan. They are very sweet, gentle and intelligent creatures. I can spend hours watching YouTube videos of them. You guys should also check out the recent Netflix documentary on orangutans.
Fourthly, if the SC judges including the CJI were ever truly interested then VCs and their cabals wouldn't have been allowed to create fiefdoms, with/out state support. Everybody in the EC has always been complicit and it is unlikely to change unless the students are smart about their demands and enforcement.
I think DYC made his stance very clear by remaining silent on the convocation issue. Focus on the SC and HC judges in the EC. Why are they crooning with AG and other regime friendly members?
NAAC has already been "managed". That "success" will be shown to support extension of NKC till 2026. The other reason will be upcoming BCI affiliation renewal, construction works in the academic block and other housekeeping stuff.
But the real reason that NKC will be given extension is the long-planned construction in the sliver of land that NUJS got from KMDA. That project is valued at Rs 100 crores+ and we all know how cost overruns happen. This is the same project that PIB, SAK and AG desperately wanted okayed. But SJA completely derailed it.
There is a reason that NKC wanted SAK back. Dig deeper. Follow the money.
As the saying goes: follow the drugs, you get the dealer, follow the money and you never know how high it goes.
Pls stop this. File PIL.
Even on leaves which are granted, you are made to work as if its a working day and leaves are approved subject to the condition that you are available to work (not just available on text/call but work also if required) - the reason being given for this is that we have an unlimited leave policy and you can avail more leaves later- which is an endless loop.
The unlimited leave policy is a big scam.
This is a myth which has been surviving for long. Time to burst the bubble. Culture at Indus is as bad as any other tier-1 firm.
There, solved your riddle how a firm with great culture can also splinter.
Obviously reminiscent of Narayan Murthy and Bhavish Agarwal. But beyond IT does this attitude exist in Lala law firms as well? Answer is YES. But unfortunately jobs in the legal space are limited, compared with IT.

Actually no, coolies will actually do their job competently and on time so maybe wrong comparison.
Having said that, since you are not from Mumbai, may I suggest you look at boutique corporate law firms in other cities? Even if you get paid 30k (which is the least they'd do in Delhi), it would suffice you in the early stages of your career if you can do crazy cost cutting. Earn relevant PQE and then start applying at bigger law firms.
And the worrying part is that Indians are anyway genetically more vulnerable to heart attacks. Then on top of that we work in high-stress jobs.

DSK, Delhi - Aparajit's M&A team

This is how I'd rank it.

PLEASEEE
My situation is as follows:
1. Let's say I join a company and work in their corporate legal department.
2.
3. I take the Bar exam solely for the purpose of qualifying for government exams, like IBPS, as they require registration with the Bar.
4.
5. I do not quit within six months of getting my license and continue working in the company, then take the IBPS exam at the end of next year.
6.
Will this cause any issues? **Please do not suggest joining litigation, as my bills won’t be paid by magic.
what is the solution here?**
