Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Statute 14-A of the Agra University, which requires the inclusion of the Principal and the senior most staff member in the Managing Committee of a minority college, stating that such inclusion enhances administration without infringing on autonomy under Article 30 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that regulation of rights can facilitate effective exercise rather than restrict it. The dissenting opinion argued against mandatory inclusion, suggesting it could undermine the college's governance structure.
