Gavai and Bharati Dangre was hearing a petition filed by the Bombay Public Trust, which has proposed a law college for women in Thane. Unreasonable delay: courtAt this, the Bench noted that the BCI was delaying the inspection unreasonably. “The petitioner had applied to the competent authority for starting a law college, which is exclusively for women. It is not in dispute that this is the only law college exclusively for women outside Greater Mumbai,” the Bench said. When the petitioner is intending of having a law college for women, rather than rendering a helping hand, the Bar Council appears to be acting as a hindrance in the establishment of the said college.
