The Supreme Court on Friday has referred the case regarding the minority status of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) to a three-judge bench. This decision comes after the Allahabad High Court in 2006 ruled against AMU’s minority status, prompting the university to appeal to the Supreme Court.
The bench will decide the case based on the criteria established by the Supreme Court. This decision marks a crucial step in the 59-year-long legal battle regarding the status of AMU.
The Supreme Court’s decision has sparked reactions from various parties, including political leader Asaduddin Owaisi. The case continues to be a point of contention, with implications for the future of AMU and its students.
