Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has given its supreme verdict on the minority status of Aligarh Muslim University. The court has upheld AMU’s minority status in its decision. Delivering the verdict, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said it was a unanimous opinion of four judges. While 3 judges have different opinions. The court also said the minority status will now be decided by a new three-judge court.
The Supreme Court, with a 4-3 majority, rejected the 1967 decision that had become the basis for denying minority status to AMU. The 1967 decision said that the AMU could not be considered a minority institution because it was created by a central law. Now the 1967 decision has been overturned by the Supreme Court. However, a new 3-judge tribunal will be formed which will decide the minority status of the university based on the terms and conditions.
