Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the writ petition challenging 'The Khalsa University (Repeal) Act 2017', affirming that the Act was not arbitrary or discriminatory under Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court found that the State had the authority to repeal the earlier Khalsa University Act, and the appellants failed to demonstrate mala fides or discrimination in the legislative process. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
