The apex court noted Gandhi was previously asked by the court to first approach the BCI before coming to the court.
The plea challenged BCI’s fee structure for AIBE and contended BCI charged Rs 3,500 in addition to other incidental charges from General/OBC candidates and Rs 2,500 in addition to other incidental charges from Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe candidates.
The plea sought a prohibition against BCI collecting such amounts in future and refund of amounts already collected as part of application process for the All India Bar Exam 2025 (AIBE-XIX). PTI PKS AMK AMK
