Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the Andhra Pradesh Government Orders (G.O.M. No. 57, G.O.M. No. 92, and G.O.M. No. 98) concerning admission criteria for minority institutions, specifically in relation to the B.Ed. Course. The Court held that the provisions infringe upon the rights of minority institutions to administer their affairs as guaranteed under Article 30(1) of the Constitution of India. Consequently, the Court struck down the impugned G.O.Ms, affirming the autonomy of minority educational institutions in determining admission criteria without undue government interference.
