VIRENDRA NATH GUPTA AND ANR. vs DELHI ADMINISTRATION AND ORS.

The Supreme Court held that Articles 29 and 30 of the Constitution of India grant linguistic minorities the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. The Court found that the Kerala Education Society's requirement for the Vice-Principal to have knowledge of Malayalam was permissible and valid, as it aligned with the institution's objectives of promoting the Malayalam language and culture. The appeal against the dismissal of the writ petition challenging the appointment of Respondent No. 5 was dismissed, affirming the management's right to appoint staff based on their linguistic criteria.
