D. A. V. COLLEGE ETC. vs STATE OF PUNJAB & ORS.

The Supreme Court examined the Guru Nanak University (Amritsar) Act, 1969, determining its compliance with constitutional provisions, particularly Articles 29(1) and 30(1) concerning minority rights. The Court held that the Act's requirements for affiliation and governance of colleges did not violate the rights of religious minorities, as the Arya Samajis were not recognized as a religious minority under the Act. The Court upheld the validity of the Act, affirming that it did not infringe upon the constitutional guarantees provided to minorities.
