S. AZEEZ BASHA AND ANR. vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court examined the constitutionality of the Aligarh Muslim University Act, 1920, as amended by subsequent acts, in light of Articles 14, 19, 25, 26, 29, 30, and 31 of the Constitution. The Court held that the amendments allowing non-Muslims to be members of the University Court and altering the powers of the Visitor and Executive Council did not violate the rights of the religious minority to administer their educational institutions. The judgment affirmed the validity of the amendments, emphasizing the need for compliance with constitutional provisions while ensuring the rights of minorities.
