Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the 'Niji Vyavasayik Shikshan Sanstha (Pravesh Ka Viniyaman Avam Shulk Ka Nirdharan) Adhiniyam, 2007' and its associated rules, rejecting challenges based on Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution regarding admissions, fee fixation, and reservation provisions. The Court affirmed that the right to administer educational institutions does not exempt private unaided colleges from state regulations, particularly concerning reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The judgment clarified that the State Legislature has the competence to enact such laws, thereby dismissing the appeals against the High Court's ruling.
