Aligarh Muslim University Minority Status Case: Supreme Court by 4:3 Majority Overrules 1967 Judgement Which Held AMU Cannot Be Considered Minority Institution

Today, November 8, the Supreme Court’s seven-judge bench assembled to give a verdict on the minority status of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). During the hearing of the AMU Minority Status case, Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, heading the seven-judge bench, said there are four judgements in the case. It is learned that four judges gave a majority verdict, while three judges passed a dissenting judgment. The Supreme Court, by a 4:3 majority, overruled its 1967 decision, which held that Aligarh Muslim University can't claim minority status as it was created by a statute. With this verdict, the issue of Aligarh Muslim University's minority status is now left to be decided by a regular bench for the factual determination of whether it was "established" by a minority. It is also learned that CJI DY Chandrachud wrote the majority judgment, while Justices Surya Kant, Dipankar Datta and SC Sharma dissented. RG Kar Rape and Murder Probe: Supreme Court Declines To Transfer Trial Outside West Bengal, Here’s What We Know So Far.
