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, affirming that the provisions for admission, fee fixation, and reservation do not violate Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The Court clarified that while private unaided institutions have rights under Article 19(1)(g), these rights are subject to reasonable restrictions in the interest of social justice and equity. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's judgment that the Act and Rules are constitutionally valid and enforceable.
