AMU fraternity, Oppn welcome SC verdict
Hindustan Times|November 09, 2024
The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) fraternity on Friday welcomed the seven-member Supreme Court constitutional bench's ruling on the institute's minority status, saying that it "reaffirms the foundation principles on which the institution was established". Vice chancellor Naima Khatoon, however, said the university will discuss the matter with its legal team for the next course of action.

By a 4-3 majority, the Supreme Court on Friday overturned its 1967 decision in the Azeez Basha case that denied minority status for the AMU, holding that its status would need to be reassessed based on principles and direction defined in the present judgment.

Talking to the media, professor Khatoon said that the university will discuss the matter with its legal team and examine it. "Every body honours SC order and so do we, but we are not in a position to comment on judgment right now," she said.
