G. Vallikumari vs Andhra Education Society & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's ruling that Section 12 of the Delhi School Education Act, 1973 is ultra vires the Constitution, particularly regarding its applicability to unaided minority institutions. The Court clarified that Section 8(2) of the Act does not apply to minority institutions, thereby affirming the High Court's decision to set aside the Delhi School Tribunal's order for the appellant's reinstatement. The judgment reinforces the autonomy of minority educational institutions under Article 30(1) of the Constitution.
