T.M.A.Pai Foundation & Ors vs State Of Karnataka & Ors

The case addresses the extent of the State's power to regulate the admission process and fee structures of unaided private educational institutions. The Court examined whether the right to establish and administer educational institutions under Article 30(1) of the Constitution of India is absolute or subject to reasonable regulations. It ruled that while the state can impose regulations for maintaining academic standards and preventing commercialization, it cannot take over the management of unaided institutions.
