The Supreme Court has overturned its 1967 decision that denied Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) minority status, ruling that an institution's minority status isn't lost simply because it was established by a statute. In a 4:3 majority judgment, the court led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, decided that AMU's minority status will be determined by a separate three-judge bench. This decision has significant implications for the university, which was founded in 1875 by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan to promote modern education among Muslims. The case centers on Article 30 of the Constitution, empowering minority groups to establish and administer educational institutions.
