Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to 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 under Section 45 of The Architects Act, 1972, which was not obtained. Consequently, the court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the communications, affirming the mandatory nature of the approval process.
