The Khad-ArDaloi Law College in Jowai has petitioned Chief Minister Conrad Sangma after the Bar Council of India (BCI) had asked it to pay Rs 35 lakh for the renewal of affiliation.
According to the college, the amount is meant for inspection and guarantee fees as well as a default fee. While the college stated that an amount of Rs 3.5 lakh was paid in August 2020, the BCI had not made the adjustment.
