He also pointed out that civil servants can start their careers right after completing their undergraduate studies.
The PIL was filed through Advocate Ashwani Kumar Dubey.
Law courses presently available right after school currently have a five-year duration (five-year BA/BCom/BBA LL.B.). One can pursue a three-year LL.B. after graduation in a Bachelor's programme.
In his PIL, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Advocate Ashwini Upadhyay had sought directions to the Central government and the Bar Council of India (BCI) to form an expert committee to assess the feasibility of allowing three-year LL.B. right after high school.
Upadhyay argued that the five-year course length is at the behest of expensive colleges. He also pointed out that civil servants can start their careers right after completing their undergraduate studies.
A second prayer made in his plea was that the Central government, the Bar Council of India (BCI) and the Consortium of the National Law Universities should be directed to prepare a detailed roadmap to attract the best talent in the legal field.
The PIL was filed through Advocate Ashwani Kumar Dubey.
