Council Of Architecture vs The Academic Society Of Architects ...

The Supreme Court ruled on the validity of the 'Minimum Standards of Architectural Education Regulations, 2017' issued by the Council of Architecture. The court found that the regulations required prior approval from the Central Government as mandated by Section 45 of The Architects Act, 1972, which was not obtained. Consequently, the court quashed the communications issued by the Council, affirming the necessity of compliance with statutory requirements before implementing such regulations.
