Supreme Court Justice Ujjal Bhuyan recently offered public praise for the students and faculty of the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR) in Hyderabad. During his remarks, Justice Bhuyan described the student body as "brilliant, bold, and brave." He further extended his commendation to the university's leadership, specifically naming Vice-Chancellor Srikrishna Deva Rao.

Justice Bhuyan stated that the Vice-Chancellor "has not let the teachers and the students down," a comment interpreted as a show of support for the administration following a recent controversy surrounding the university's convocation ceremony. While the Justice’s remarks were framed as an endorsement of the institution's academic environment, the context of the speech was directly linked to the recent, albeit unspecified, "convocation row" that had previously drawn public scrutiny toward the university. The Justice's comments serve as a notable intervention in the ongoing discourse regarding the university's recent administrative and student-led activities.
