DAYANAND ANGLO VEDIC(DAV)COL.TRUS.MGT.ST vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court, affirming the withdrawal of linguistic minority status from the Dayanand Anglo Vedic (DAV) College Trust under Article 30 of the Constitution of India. The Court found that the earlier recognition was granted based on a mistake regarding the residence of the trustees, which was a critical factor in determining minority status. The Court emphasized that the status must be based on accurate facts and upheld the authority of the State to withdraw such status when it is found to be incorrectly granted.
