Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the extent of State control over admissions and fees in Private Unaided Professional Educational Institutions under Article 19(1)(g) and Article 19(6) of the Constitution. The Court reiterated that while the right to establish educational institutions is a fundamental right, reasonable restrictions may be imposed, but such restrictions must not hinder the efficient operation of these institutions. The judgment emphasized that previous decisions, including T.M.A. Pai Foundation and Islamic Academy of Education, left unresolved questions regarding State regulation, necessitating further clarification.
