Supreme Court Upholds Constitutional Validity of UP Madrasa Education Act 2004, Strikes Down Allahabad HC Verdict

In a significant ruling on Tuesday, November 5, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the Uttar Pradesh Board of Madrasa Education Act, 2004, striking down the Allahabad High Court's ruling that had deemed the Act unconstitutional. The bench, comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, clarified that while the Act's provisions generally align with the law, parts granting higher education degrees under "fazil" and "kamil" conflict with the University Grants Commission (UGC) Act and are therefore unconstitutional. The bench emphasised that while madrasa education includes religious teachings, its primary objective remains educational. The ruling clarified that the state retains authority to regulate educational standards within minority institutions, balancing religious rights with the need for educational oversight. Supreme Court Reserves Judgement on Plea Challenging Allahabad HC Order Striking Down Uttar Pradesh Board of Madarsa Education Act 2004.
