Anjuman-E-Islam vs The State Of Karnataka & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding the denial of affiliation for a B.Ed. college under Section 53 of the Karnataka State Universities Act, 1976. The Court held that the appellant was discriminated against as other institutions were granted affiliation during the same period, constituting a colorable exercise of power by the government. The Court directed that the appellant's claim for affiliation be reconsidered in light of the established facts, while clarifying that the minority status of the institution does not exempt it from the government's policy decisions.
