Dayanand Anglo ... vs State Of Maharashtra & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's dismissal of the writ petition challenging the withdrawal of linguistic minority status under Article 30 of the Constitution of India. The Court found that the appellant, Dayanand Anglo Vedic College Trust, failed to establish that a majority of its trustees were residents of Maharashtra, which is a prerequisite for such status. The Court affirmed the decision of the Principal Secretary, which was based on the incorrect assumption regarding the residency of the trustees, thus maintaining the validity of the earlier orders of the state government.
