Foreign LL.B. Not a ‘First Degree’ for Three-Year LL.B. Admission | BCI Recognition Insufficient : Bombay HC
A foreign LL.B., even if recognised by the Bar Council of India, does not satisfy the ‘first degree’ requirement for entry into India’s three-year LL.B. programmes. The Bombay High Court upheld the university’s cancellation of the petitioner’s provisional admission on this basis. The decision narrows eligibility for overseas law graduates seeking domestic LL.B. enrollment.
