Supreme Court Live: Should Aligarh Muslim University Have A Minority Status? | SC 7-judge Bench Day4

February 6, 2024 Pharaoh

A Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court of India will begin hearing on Tuesday, January 9, the plea by Aligarh Muslim University on retaining its minority institution status.

CJI DY Chandrachud led seven-judge bench will decide on the question whether an educational institution created by a parliamentary statute enjoy Minority Status under Article 30 of the Constitution.

The bench also consists of Justices Sanjiv Khanna, Surya Kant, JB Pardiwala, Dipankar Datta, Manoj Misra and KV Vishwanathan.

Earlier the bench consisted of Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, who retired on Decemebr 25, 2023.

In 2005, AMU had reserved 50% seats in postgraduate medical courses for Muslim candidates by claiming it to be a minority institution. This came to be set aside by the Allahabad High Court. A year later, in 2006, the Union government and AMU challenged the High Court’s decision before the Supreme Court.

Later, in 2016, the National Democratic Alliance government, withdrew from the appeal contending that it does not acknowledge the minority status of the University.
