Icon Education Society vs The State Of Madhya Pradesh

The Supreme Court examined whether minority educational institutions in Madhya Pradesh are required to have their fees fixed by the Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee under the Madhya Pradesh Niji Vyavsayik Shikshan Sanstha (Pravesh Ka Viniyaman Avam Shulk Ka Nirdharan) Adhiniyam, 2007. The Court clarified that the issue was previously settled by a Constitution Bench in Modern Dental College, emphasizing the importance of understanding the ratio decidendi of that decision. The case involved a minority institution managing unaided colleges claiming exemption from fee regulation. The Court reaffirmed the legal principles established in the earlier judgment and dismissed the appeal, upholding the autonomy of minority institutions.
