SC questions Manan Mishras tenure as BCI chairman; says it ends with fresh elections

The Supreme Court questioned Manan Kumar Mishra's extended tenure as BCI chairman. His continuation is not a mandate to remain chairman until 2030. The court emphasized his role as a pro tem chairman until new elections occur. High court chief justices must complete state bar council co-options within two weeks. New state bar councils will then elect their office-bearers and BCI representatives.
