THE MANAGING BOARD OF THE MILLI TALIMI MISSION, BIHAR,RANCH vs THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the right to affiliation for minority educational institutions is protected under Article 30 of the Constitution, and the arbitrary refusal of affiliation by the Government constitutes a violation of this right. The Court emphasized that the State must provide just and sufficient reasons for denying affiliation, and failure to do so can lead to costs being imposed for disobedience of court orders. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision to quash the Government's cancellation of the affiliation, affirming the institution's rights.
