New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday delivered a landmark verdict the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is entitled to minority status under Article 30 of the Constitution of India.
The Top Court overruled by 4:3 majority the S Azeez Basha versus Union of India case which in 1967 held that since the Aligarh Muslim Univeristy was a Central university, it cannot be considered a minority institution.
