Description


On 8 November, 7 judges of the Supreme Court overruled Azeez Basha v Union of India (1967) which held that Aligarh Muslim University did not have a minority status under Article 30 of the Constitution.

While the 7-judge bench left the decision of AMU's minority status open for a regular bench to decide, it laid down certain parameters to consider while determining the minority status of an institution.

We explain the judgement in this video.
