Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the judgment of the Calcutta High Court, affirming that the Ramakrishna Mission's educational institution is entitled to protection under Article 30(1) and Article 26(a) of the Constitution of India, as it is established and administered by a religious minority. The Court emphasized the fundamental rights of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. Consequently, the appeals against the High Court's decision were dismissed, reinforcing the rights of the Ramakrishna Mission.
