The Supreme Court has agreed to examine whether an educational institution administered by members of a minority community would result in it being conferred the status of a minority institution.
A Bench of Justices B.R. Gavai and B.V. Nagarathna issued notices to the Uttar Pradesh Government, National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions, National Medical Commission and others while seeking their replies.
The top court was hearing an appeal filed by Mahayana Theravada Vajrayana Buddhist Religious and Charitable Trust challenging the Allahabad High Court order which observed that mere administration of an educational institution by a minority would not confer on it status of a minority institution.
