Supreme Court Overturns 1967 Ruling On Aligarh Muslim University’s Minority Status

The Supreme Court ruled 4-3 to overturn a 1967 judgment denying Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) minority status but left the final decision to a three-judge bench. The majority emphasized the university’s origins, while dissenting judges argued against AMU’s minority status. The case, a long-running legal battle on AMU’s status under Article 30., involves govt funding and the 1981 amendment.
