Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 35 of the Bihar State Universities Act, 1976, prior approval from the Vice-Chancellor or the state government is not a pre-condition for the creation of posts in minority institutions. The Court emphasized that minority institutions have the right to establish educational institutions under Article 30 of the Constitution, which protects their autonomy. Consequently, the appointment of Syed Asad Raza was upheld, affirming the rights of minority institutions in the context of state regulations.
