Why are they special?

One week ago, "Students at the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR) University of Law, Hyderabad, have opposed having Chief Justice of India Surya Kant as the university's convocation Chief guest." Although the date of convocation or the chief guest have not been confirmed "it has been a tradition for the university to have the CJI deliver the convocation address." This is because the CJI compared "unemployed youth and individuals without professional standing to 'cockroaches' and 'parasites'." DH. Taking exception to that, the Bar Council of India (BCI) issued a notice saying "those who organised opposition to the invitation to CJI Surya Kant for the institute's convocation would not be enrolled as advocates."TOI. Within hours the BCI was forced to withdraw its own order against Nalsar students saying that it has been reported that "a handful of teacher and outsiders were instrumental in instigating students," and that "no student shall be made to suffer without any fault on his part." Law Street. "The Supreme Court said students had a right to protest peacefully and stayed any coercive action against NALSAR students or faculty." "If the students are protesting peacefully who is BCI to take action? ...It is a dialogue between students and me. No one has the right to step in," the CJI said. TOI. So magnanimous. Expressing solidarity, "Students and alumni of the National Law School of India University (NLSUI) have expressed strong disapproval of BCI chairperson Manan Kumar Mishra," and "warned that such actions could have chilling effect on free speech across universities by 'sending them a clear signal that any act of dissent will be met with severe personal and professional consequences'." TOI. While being so courteous and tolerant of free speech for law students, the same Supreme Court "said police forces can be permitted to use pellet guns in exceptional circumstances," during the "Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led protest at Jantar Mantar over the alleged NEET paper leak, during which several demonstrators sustained pellet injuries." ET. Pellets are designed to spread out indiscriminately and blind and maim permanently. Pellet guns were used extensively in Kashmir in 2016 and have left victims permanently incapacitated. "My bullet injury healed over time. But pellet injuries never heal. Permanently lodged in my body, they have left me unfit for work, unable to be in the sunlight for long or play any sports, walk or even rest," said Ashraf who had been shot with a bullet as well as pellets in Kashmir. The Wire. And the Supreme Court is happy for students protesting against leak of NEET (UG) questions to be maimed for life. "The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) of NEET (UG)...is an Indian nationwide entrance examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission in undergraduate medical programs." wikipedia. So, law students have the right to free speech in rejecting the CJI, but students aspiring to be doctors, protesting against their careers being destroyed by cheats, are to be maimed for life by pellet guns. And yet, "More than 10,000 cases are pending in the Supreme Court for over 10 years. In the 25 high courts across the country, over 80,000 cases are pending for over three decades." TOI. Since lawyers charge fees per appearance in court (Karl Rock), they prolong cases indefinitely, assisted by tolerant judges. And yet, the Supreme Court has ruled that lawyers cannot be held liable for poor service under the Consumer Protection Act, despite charging scandalous fees, while doctors are liable. DH. Equality before the law? (Indian Kanoon). Right to protest? Only for lawyers.
