Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the amendments made to the Maharshi Mahesh Yogi Vedic Vishwavidyalaya Adhiniyam, 1995, specifically affirming the validity of amendments to Sections 4(1), 9(2), 31-A(1) and (2), 31-B, 31-C, 37-B(a), 37-B(b), 37-B(d), and 37-B(e) as intra-vires. However, it declared the proviso to Section 4 regarding the establishment of new Centres and the requirement for prior approval for conducting courses as ultra-vires. Additionally, Section 37-A was found to be entirely ultra-vires. The Court's holding reinforced the legislative intent behind the amendments while ensuring compliance with constitutional limits.
