Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has given its highest verdict on the minority status of Aligarh Muslim University. In its decision, the court upheld AMU’s minority status. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, while delivering the judgment, said it was a unanimous opinion of four judges. The three judges had different opinions. The court also said that minority status will now be decided by a new bench of three judges.
The Supreme Court, by a 4-3 majority, overturned the 1967 ruling that had become the basis for denying AMU minority status. The 1967 decision said the AMU could not be considered a minority institution as it was created under a central law. The 1967 judgment has now been quashed by the Supreme Court. However, a new bench of 3 judges will be constituted and will decide the minority status of the university on terms and conditions.

There was a wave of happiness in the Muslim society, which will be recorded in history today in gold letters.
On this day, people in the university are celebrating, giving out sweets, people hugging each other and congratulating each other. Meanwhile, a member of staff at the university said: “We are eagerly awaiting the decision and we are very pleased with it.” At the same time, others say, we get a lot of joy out of the Supreme Court. Today is a very happy day for AMU.
