Anjum Kadari vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Uttar Pradesh Board of Madarsa Education Act, 2004, rejecting the High Court's ruling that it violated Articles 14 and 21A of the Constitution. The Court found that the Act serves a regulatory purpose in establishing educational standards and qualifications for Madarsas, which is within the legislative competence of the State under Entry 25, List III. The judgment emphasized the importance of secularism while allowing for the regulation of minority educational institutions, thus affirming the Act's validity.
