AMU Minority Status Dispute

The Supreme Court looked into whether AMU should be recognised as a minority institution under the Indian Constitution as it affects how the university can operate and receive funding.

The court questioned an earlier decision from Azeez Basha Case 1967 that said AMU was not a minority institution.

Supporters say AMU was set up for Muslims, while the government argues it can't be considered a minority institution because it was established by law.

The court gave four separate judgments with a 4:3 majority, the case is now referred to a three-judge bench for further review.
