‘A proposal for a building in the north campus for the three centres of Law faculty has been submitted before the High Court,’ DU’s media cordinator and Joint Dean of Students’ Welfare Malay Neerav said.
‘According to the proposal, the three law centres namely Campus Law Centre, Law Centre-I and Law Centre-II are proposed to be shifted to a new building which is adjacent to the Faculty of Law in the north campus itself,’ he said. Ashwani Bansal, dean of Law Faculty said the new centres will be ready by next session. ‘The building is 75 per cent ready and we have been assured that the three centres will be accommodated in the new premises from the next academic session’, he said.
The law faculty was in the news recently when the Bar Council of India, the apex regulatory body for legal education and the legal profession in India, had decided to derecognise DU’s law course after it failed to seek timely extension of the affiliation of its three centres.
‘We have applied for the extension and the issue will be sorted out soon. We have already assured our students that prospects of practising as advocates would not be hampered,’ Bansal said.
DU’s vice-chancellor Dinesh Singh also echoed his views saying, ‘The issue was blown out of proportion and I have been told that it will be sorted soon.’
Meanwhile, a seven member team from the BCI visited the Law faculty campus on Tuesday for an inspection.
The Law Faculty of DU is a one of the top institutes in the country. Some of the noted alumni of the faculty includes Arun Jaitley, Kapil Sibal and Supreme Court Judge Rohinton Nariman among others.
