Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the Andhra Pradesh Recognised Private Educational Institutions Control Act, 1975, particularly Sections 3 to 7, in light of Article 30(1) of the Constitution. The Court held that the Act's provisions, which regulate the service conditions of teachers in minority educational institutions, violate the constitutional guarantee of autonomy in the administration of such institutions. Consequently, the Court struck down the provisions that allowed for interference in the internal administration of minority institutions, affirming their right to manage their affairs without external control.
